As mixed macro-economic numbers continue to confuse the Federal Reserve, there seems to be growing consensus that the first rate cut might be in the cards for September, and the European counterpart is planning to cut rates even earlier. This could be a positive for metal prices and economic activity, although in my view it could drive up inflation again.
As analysts debate whether the world economy is heading into a mild recession, with the Fed hesitating if they should pivot soon or not, Inomin Mines (MINE.V)(FRA:IMC) delivered further impressive drill results from their 100% owned, 24,000 hectare Beaver-Lynx project in south-central, BC, The drilling program commenced in June, right after the company closed their C$607k non-brokered financing.

After the last rate hike by the Federal Reserve on May 3, 2023, a more dovish stance seems in the cards, being favorable for gold, which printed an all - time high of US$2082/oz Au that day.
