Gold: Soft Debt Default Using Inflation
I maintain a Strong Buy on gold, expecting it to outperform its last cycle's 210% gain as it reasserts its role as a global reserve asset. Gold's bullish thesis is underpinned by accelerating M2 money supply, persistent US deficit spending, and the likelihood of an 'inflate-away-the-debt' policy. International trust erosion in the US dollar, surging US trade deficits, and global central bank gold accumulation—especially by China—further support XAU's upside.
GDX Vs. SGDM Is A Draw, Gold Miners Are A Buy
I reaffirm my bullish stance on VanEck Gold Miners ETF, maintaining a buy rating due to strong structural and technical drivers; the fundamental thesis is not changed from July. GDX and Sprott Gold Miners ETF are fundamentally similar; SGDM's factor screen offers marginal differences, but not enough to warrant switching despite a strong case being made. Sprott's screen shifts weight from larger firms to mid-tier miners; it picks miners with stronger cash flows, but royalty firms with weaker flows make up more of SGDM.
