In the last five trading days, average gold prices were steady +0.1% WoW at USD 2,622/oz, while the DXY Index strengthened to 108.1 (+0.5% WoW). Gold prices rose Thursday on safe-haven demand post-Christmas trading, as markets awaited U.S. economic signals and the Fed’s 2025 rate strategy under Trump.
On the other hand, the rise in the DXY to 108 exerted additional pressure on gold prices, further weighed down by increased in U.S. Treasury yields (+0.22% to approximately 4.6%), which diminished gold's appeal as a non-yielding asset, raising investors’ caution.
We maintain our FY24 gold price estimate at USD 2,400/oz (YTD: USD 2,384/oz) and FY25’s level at USD 2,600/oz, supported by potential Fed rate cuts to drive economic growth and gold purchases for reserves. Stock-wise, we retain BRMS as our top pick (TP IDR 500; USD 26.4/ton EV/Reserve FY25F), underpinned by strong dore bullion production, a solid earnings outlook, and substantial untapped asset potential.
