Issue No. 204 – Sat 05 April 2025
Spot Gold falls sharply in the last 2 trading days (closes on Fri 04 Apr 2025 @US$3,037) but it still outperforms as tariff chaos crashes stocks.
We maintain our bullish stance on Gold which is expected to soar to US$4,000 by mid-June 2025.
On World War III
Iran will soon be attacked by Israel/US which will start WW III.
Five of the world’s top 10 oil-producing countries—Saudi Arabia, Iran, Iraq, United Arab Emirates, and Kuwait—border the Persian Gulf, as does Qatar, the world’s largest liquefied natural gas (LNG) exporter. The Strait of Hormuz (indicated by a RED ARROW) is their only sea route to the open ocean and world markets.
Upon Iran being attacked, the Strait of Hormuz will be closed, and the world will lose 25% of Crude Oil, and 1/3 of LNG. Crude Oil will triple. On this reasoning, we keep our 6 OXY Call Options – 4 calls will expire on 20 June, and 2 calls will expire on 19 Sep 2025.
The question is when will the war start. It is likely in 2nd half of Apr 2025 when both Mars (Warrior) and Pluto (Death) are made active by Sun and Moon transits, as shown on the Mars-centered Ephemeris below. The relevant aspect is:
