The Globe and Mail reports in its Wednesday edition that precious metals analysts at RBC Dominion Securities are forecasting "exceptionally strong" results for gold equities in the second half of 2024. The Globe's David Leeder writes in the Eye On Equities column that the RBC analysts have reaffirmed Artemis Gold at "outperform." The RBC analysts gave their share target a $2 boost to $16. Analysts on average target the shares at $15.78. The RBC analysts say in a note: "Investment demand is growing, but some price risks are present near-term. Gold prices have continued to reach new record high prices of more than $2,500 per ounce, supported by strengthening investment demand on shifts in monetary policy expectations, a key component of our bullish view. Since our prior May outlook, consensus rate cut expectations have sharply increased, now slightly exceeding our gold price model inputs. Our gold price forecasts are slightly lower in 3Q vs. spot. ... We view some downside risk near-term in light of consensus rate forecasts." The Globe reported on July 11 that CIBC analysts had upgraded Artemis Gold to "outperform" from "neutral." It was then worth $11.85.
