RE:Higher Inflation is gold's best friend..... real interest rate is the key. Said differently, interest rate adjusted of the inflation.
So yes, high inflation decreases real interest rate. But if markets focus on a potential change in FED policy (higher interest rates), a higher inflation could push POG down..
So as usual, it's all about expectations... higher inflation not matched by higher interest rates (current or forecasted) is positive for POG.
Higher inflation seen as temporary won^t have much impact as well..
And so on...
I am happy with POG trading in a range 1700-2000 for the next months... As it would mean huge cash flow for Victoria... IF they achieve expected production.
I hope to see 3Q production before any official bid from a suitor.
