If the price of gold shows some weakness in the first few months of 2024, investors should not be unsettled. This should only be a short-term trend and the spook should soon be over again. The high gold price at the end of 2023 also invited profit-taking. However, the price of the precious metal should soar to new heights in the second half of the year at the latest. This is because the Fed’s interest rate cut phase will come. Gold should be able to defend its status as a safe haven for even longer, as the geopolitical crises continue.

These tensions could increase in the Middle East. There are also problems between China and Taiwan, and therefore between China and the Western world, and the war in Ukraine continues. Much is uncertain, whether there is a threat of recession or perhaps inflation will rise again. What is certain, however, is that gold offers protection for investors.

And it is not only the Fed that is expected to cut interest rates from around the middle of the year. The European Central Bank and the Bank of England will also cut interest rates. These actions should then reduce bond yields, regardless of maturity. When it comes to recessions, it is known from the past that although they can initially push the price of gold down, they usually lead to larger interest rate cuts. This is usually accompanied by a significant increase in the price of gold. Gold and the values of gold companies are therefore part of an investment portfolio. Caledonia Mining or Victoria Gold would be suitable.

Caledonia Mining – https://www.commodity-tv.com/ondemand/companies/profil/caledonia-mining-corporation-plc/ – was able to produce around 75,000 ounces of gold at its Blanket gold mine in Zimbabwe last year.

Victoria Gold – https://www.commodity-tv.com/ondemand/companies/profil/victoria-gold-corp/ – is also producing successfully in the Yukon. The Eagle Gold Mine produced almost 167,000 ounces of gold in 2023.
