Gold SWOT: The sharp rise in gold prices this year could provide a nice bump to miners’ earnings.

The best performing precious metal for the week was silver, up 1.36%. The Times of India is reporting that the Reserve Bank of India has increased its gold purchases to enhance the diversity of its foreign exchange reserves amid fluctuations in the U.S. dollar. The surge in the value of outstanding gold reserves accounted for more than 80% of the nearly $3 billion rise in forex reserves.

First Majestic reported preliminary gold production for the first quarter that missed the average analyst estimate. Preliminary gold production was 35,936 ounces, versus the estimate 39,011 according to Bloomberg. Gold is set to reach $3,000 an ounce over the next six to 18 months on increasing investor inflows amid expectations that the Federal Reserve will eventually cut interest rates, Citigroup said, adding to a roll call of Wall Street banks that have raised forecasts. Producers continue to face rising costs despite modest easing in input prices, which have been offset by persistent labor inflation.

Gold Price Rally Spurs M&A Activity in Gold Mining IndustryGold price continues to set new all-time highs, with gold equities starting to get in on the action as M&A activity increases, says David Erfle, editor of Junior Miner Junky. On March 27, Alamos Gold (TSX:AGI) said it would acquire Argonaut Gold (TSX:AR), including Argonaut's Magino mine in Ontario. The addition of Magino is expected to increase Alamos' production by 25% and reduce its all-in sustaining costs by $100 per ounce. This acquisition is part of a trend of consolidation in the gold mining industry as companies seek to increase their reserves and reduce costs. The gold price rally and the potential for further increases have made gold mining companies attractive targets for mergers and acquisitions. As a result, we can expect to see more deals like this in the future.
