SMM4, June 22: bank of America raised the price of gold for 18 months to $3000 an ounce, 50 per cent higher than the current gold price, in a report entitled "the Federal Reserve cannot print gold".

As the economy shrinks sharply, fiscal spending surges and central bank balance sheets double, legal tender is likely to come under pressure and investors will turn to gold, the report said.

Bank of America expects gold to average $1695 an ounce this year and $2063 an ounce in 2021.

However, it believes a stronger dollar, lower volatility in financial markets and lower demand for jewellery in China and India are bad for gold.

Central and East Africa’s Mining Sector Moves Towards Greater Beneficiation
[SMM Express] Mining sectors across Central and East Africa are facing a changing operating environment as governments increase focus on resource nationalism, local content requirements and domestic mineral processing. Countries across the region are seeking to capture more value from their mineral resources by encouraging in-country beneficiation and strengthening state participation. Policies in Tanzania, Mozambique, Zambia and Ethiopia highlight a broader shift away from exporting raw materials towards developing local processing capacity. The region remains critical to global mineral supply chains, with the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) dominating cobalt exports, the Central African Copperbelt supporting major copper production and significant deposits of lithium, tantalum, niobium, tungsten and graphite found across several countries. However, mining investment continues to face challenges including security risks, regulatory uncertainty, infrastructure limitations and operational constraints. Several countries are also expanding strategic mineral classifications, which could lead to tighter export controls, increased royalties and greater government involvement.
