Although the markets keep digesting mixed signals, with various indicators increasing so much in strength there is even talk of several rate hikes coming up now from the Fed, indicating a soft landing if executed carefully, in the end the rates should come down again when inflation closes in further on the 2% target.

In an increasingly uncertain market environment as a result of the Fed communicating their intentions for more rate hikes, and ever stronger signals of a looming recession, Omai Gold Mines (TSXV:OMG) continues to explore for more gold in addition to their 3.7Moz resources for Wenot and Gilt Creek.

Although the Federal Reserve raised interest rates 50 base points as anticipated, markets didn’t really like the near term outlook of Powell, as they hoped for a more dovish stance on inflation and economic developments. This resulted in more volatility, but fortunately the gold price remained at US$1800/oz levels.

With the world economy slowly moving towards a recession it seems, with inflation, rate hikes, shortages and the Russia aggression far from being over, Omai Gold Mines (TSXV:OMG) decided not to back down and instead advanced their Omai gold project in Guyana, and reported a significant resource update on October 20, 2022.
