the US and Iran and an end to the ceasfire - every time this happens, the market knee-jerk reaction TICKER RATING PRICE TARGET

appears to be oil moves higher, rate expectations increase, and gold trades lower. As we've written

FNV HOLD $230.00 ($245.00)

before, we think the market is assigning a very low probability to the following near-term bullish

scenario for gold: inflation remains elevated (e.g., 3+%), but the Fed keeps rates unchanged due to

political motivations and fiscal implications, resulting in lower real rates and higher gold. We find it

difficult to see rates moving higher this year because of the political and fiscal consequences. US

midterm elections are in November, and the current US national debt is ~$40 trillion, resulting in

net interest payments that are ~15% of total federal outlays, more than annual defense spending.

Central bank gold demand in May was at the second-highest level this year.
