Q: As the FED has signaled up to 3 rate cuts in 2024 do you recommend having 5% exposure to gold stocks? If so, would companies KGC, GOLD, or OR be ones to add to a portfolio? Thanks!
5i Research Answer:
Rate cuts are typically a good tailwind for gold, as with cuts the US dollar may weaken and this is typically good for gold. We can't provide personal sector allocations, but we would be comfortable at 5% to 8% for most investors. We like GOLD and OR as mining companies, but KGC is too small for any consideration. We would also suggest ABX and NEM, as well as royalty company WPM.
Authors of this answer, directors, partners and/or officers of 5i Research and/or affiliated companies have a financial or other interest in NEM.
