Reports state that the correction in gold prices has discouraged some investors from investing in gold. The weight of the evidence (technical, fundamental, sentiment) argues that the correction in gold and gold stocks is nearly complete. In global markets, gold prices edged higher today as investors assessed the likelihood for further virus-related economic restrictions amid surging Covid-19 cases in many countries. Not too long ago, the gold-to-silver ratio crossed above 100, suggesting that silver is selling at dirt-cheap prices, relative to gold.
Tracking positive global cues, gold prices edged higher in Indian markets as new coronavirus-related restrictions in some countries lifted the safe-haven appeal of the precious metals. Credit Suisse cuts target price to C$16 from C$17, based on a 10% lower gold price outlook. Hence, that leads to a move away from safe-haven assets – a key driver of the gold price this year as the pandemic unfolded.
The gold price rose strongly in the first half of 2020, in large part due to the fall in both nominal and real yields. In news from the commodity space, gold prices for the latest contract on MCX were trading up by 0.8% at Rs 49,344 per 10 grams. Essentially, this ratio tells us how many ounces of silver it takes to buy an ounce of gold.

Oil
The oil cartel and its allies have agreed to gradually phase out production cuts early next year as part of their effort to support oil prices. This appears to be a decent price for the North Park Basin, which averaged around 2,200 barrels of oil production (NPB production is 100% oil) in Q3 2020. That poses a risk that OPEC is putting more oil into an already oversupplied market, with the risk that this will send oil prices down yet again. SandRidge’s oil percentage is declining over time, as its oil decline rate appears to be higher than its overall base decline rate.
I have worked in the areas of oil refining, natural gas production, synthetic fuels, ethanol production, butanol production, and various biomass to energy projects. It’s not that Iran oil is any cleaner than U.S. oil. SandRidge now has 20,000 BOEPD of remaining production (based on Q3 2020 production levels) with approximately 14% of that production being oil, 35% NGLs and 51% natural gas.
A potential end to the pandemic offers some hope of recovery in global oil demand that has plummeted since the start of the pandemic.
It will be several months before we reach a critical mass of vaccinated, economically active people and thus see an impact on oil demand.” The Zacks Oil and Gas – Production & Pipelines industry comprises companies that own and operate midstream energy infrastructure assets.
