  • Gold prices have historically outperformed during recessions
  • ANZ research raises end of 2023 gold price target to $US1,900/oz
  • Weekly small cap standouts: Peregrine Gold (ASX:PGD), Ora Gold (ASX:OAU)

Our Gold Digger column wraps all the news driving ASX stocks with exposure to precious metals.

 

It’s been a rollercoaster ride for gold in 2023, but the consensus seems to be that a recession-hit 2023 will be a lot more positive for the precious metal.

Gold prices tend to come under pressure ahead of recessions, but then outperform other markets (such as equities) during them, according to ANZ research.

“Short term, we see scope for some retracement of gold’s recent gains, but we expect safe haven buying to raise prices,” write ANZ commodity strategists Daniel Hynes and Soni Kumari.

“We have subsequently raised our end of 2023 target to USD1,900/oz.”

That falls short of Saxo’s “outrageous” $US3,000oz 2023 prediction but hey – still a win for gold.

The global economy is at an inflection point, with tighter monetary policies amid high inflation likely to slow economic growth in 2023, Hynes and Kumari say.

This backdrop is typically positive for gold.

“Although we expect the US fed funds rate to peak at 5%, a pause in rate hiking should turn market sentiment in favour of gold,” they say.

“This comes as we approach the end of US dollar dominance, and a depreciation in the currency would add further support to investor demand.”

 

History tells us that gold performs well during recessions

Gold price returns over the six months before a recession average just 2%, Hynes and Kumari say.

“It then tends to outperform equities during recessions, with average returns of 16%,” the say.

“For the six months after a recession, gold continues to deliver decent gains.”

The 1980s recession had “striking similarities” to the current situation, according to the pair.

“Following the Iranian Revolution in 1979, oil supply was disrupted causing an energy crisis that pushed up already high inflation,” they say.

“Central banks tightened monetary policy, and most countries experienced double-dip recessions.

“Gold rallied from USD230/oz to reach USD835/oz in early 1980 but trended lower into early 1982.

“In late 1982, a second period of weak economic growth lifted the gold price more than 50%.”

Something similar, but different, happened during the Global Financial Crisis.

“Gold rallied for much of the period leading into the Great Financial Crisis of 2008,” Hynes and Kumari say.

“As the magnitude of the crisis became clear, the gold bullion market experienced an increasingly disorderly selloff.

“Prices fell to their lowest value for the year, USD692/oz, in the wake of the Lehman Brothers collapse in September 2008.

“As the world entered a deep and sharp correction in growth, gold rebounded more than 65% to end 2009 just under USD1,200/oz.”

How long will it take for the band-wagoners to return to gold?

Weekly Small Cap Standouts

 PEREGRINE GOLD (ASX:PGD)

It’s early days, but PGD appears to be into something very interesting at its Newman gold project in WA.

Yesterday, it announced that a rock sampling program has returned grades of up to 122,497g/t gold and 23,234g/t silver at Birdsnest, part of PGD Newman project in WA.

Yep, you read right. That’s equivalent to 120kg of gold for every tonne of dirt moved.

This style of mineralisation requires “precise surgical diamond drilling to resolve continuity in 3D or down plunge”, technical director George Merhi says.

It’s the latest in a string of impressive gold hits at Newman, which include this spectacular chunk in drill core at its Peninsula prospect:

Diamond drilling at both Birdsnest and Peninsula will start in Q1 2023.

 

 

ORA GOLD (ASX:OAU)

OAU also dropped some solid results this week, boasting (among other highlights) a return of 7m @ 15.75g/t Au from 30m incl. 6m @ 38.06g/t Au from 41m.

That’s thick, shallow, and high grade.

Later in the day, the company released a correction which usually signals that something’s been overstated.

But, in OAU’s case the typo in the original release downplayed the above result – it was meant to be 17m @ 15.75g/t.
