Gold prices have dropped sharply after reaching record highs earlier in 2025, but most analysts still see support and potential for a turnaround under certain conditions.

Reasons for Recent Gold Drop:

The sell-off was triggered by several factors coming together:

1. Profit-taking after a strong rally, a strengthening US dollar, easing concerns about global inflation, and expectations for US-China diplomatic progress.

2. Technical signals indicated that gold was significantly overbought, making the market prone to corrections as volatility increased.

3. Lower-than-expected US inflation figures have reinforced the potential for US Federal Reserve rate cuts, which paradoxically led to a stronger dollar and a temporary decline in gold as a safe-haven asset.

4. Analysts also point to short-term Fed hawkishness in November, which created volatility and capped gold’s upside despite easing inflation.

Outlook and Recovery Expectations:

Despite the correction, fundamental factors supporting gold—such as sustained central bank buying, geopolitical uncertainty, and concerns over global debt—remain intact. Forecasters expect that if the Federal Reserve shifts towards interest rate cuts as anticipated, gold could rally again, with various predictions suggesting prices could rise modestly (0–5%) or even surge 10–15% if economic risks worsen.

Technical analysis indicates that the $4,000 per ounce level should act as a support zone, with $3,845 widely cited as a critical floor. Many analysts recommend accumulating gold during pullbacks, seeing current weakness as an opportunity rather than a reversal.

Large-scale gold buying continues, especially from emerging market central banks, and any announcement of increased accumulation could spark a sharp short-term rally. Also, Institutions highlight that investors are gradually shifting away from dollar-denominated assets, reinforcing gold’s role as a hedge.

Major banks, including JPMorgan, Goldman Sachs, and Morgan Stanley, forecast gold could reach $4,400–$5,000 by late 2026, citing monetary easing and geopolitical risks.

-Risks to Watch:

-A persistently strong US dollar could cap upside in the near term.

-If the Fed delays rate cuts or signals hawkishness, gold may remain range-bound.

-Geopolitical easing could reduce safe-haven demand, slowing momentum.

Conclusion:

In summary, while a near-term pullback has occurred due to technical and macroeconomic shifts, many analysts still expect a rebound or at least price stability for gold in the coming months. With strong support levels, ongoing central bank buying, and long-term forecasts pointing toward $5,000, the consensus remains that gold’s long-term bias is bullish—especially if real rates decline and the US dollar weakens as anticipated.

With new tariffs driving up consumer prices and tax policies favoring the wealthy, the United States is experiencing a widening divide between the “haves” and “have-nots.” Are these the seeds of revolution, or simply the latest chapter in the country’s long history of economic cycles?

CARBON CAPTURE & STORAGE (CCS)

Image
 Climate change remains a defining challenge of our time, and mitigating its effects requires innovative technology and considerable effort. Carbon capture and storage appears as a promising means to reduce greenhouse gas emissions significantly. Let's look at the overall function and potential of carbon capture technology, along with introducing two landmark projects that are set as new milestones in this crucial field. Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS), as the name suggests, is a technology that seizes carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from industrial and power generation processes. This method prevents emissions from entering the atmosphere, thus contributing to the fight against climate change. Once captured, the CO2 can either be permanently sequestered underground in geological formations such as depleted oil and gas reservoirs, saline formations and/or unmineable coal seams. Also there is the option of converting CO2 into a range of products such as methanol, which could fu...

Junior Mining: Potential Takeover Targets 2025-2026

Image
Canada’s junior mining exploration sector is witnessing a surge in merger and acquisition (M&A) activity, fueled by soaring metal prices, major miners’ need to replenish dwindling reserves, and the strategic value of critical minerals like Uranium and Copper. Industry trends and recent deals suggest a wave of takeovers is likely in 2025–2026, with Junior companies—typically valued under C$500 million—emerging as prime targets due to their exploration assets and lower regulatory scrutiny under Canada’s tightened Investment Canada Act (ICA) rules.   Confirmed Takeovers Signal Momentum (Several high-profile deals are underway J   -Sierra Metals (TSX: SMT), a mid-tier Canadian miner with exploration assets, faces a C$1.15 per share all-cash takeover bid by Peru’s Alpayana S.A.C., extended as of May 1, 2025, with conditions nearing waiver.   -On March 21, 2025, Mayfair Acquisition Corp.
