Golden Ten Data reported on June 26 that Macquarie strategists stated that all eyes are currently on inflation trends and whether central banks (especially the Federal Reserve) will tighten policy to control prices. The apparent end of the Middle East conflict, combined with a more hawkish stance from the Federal Reserve, has led to a pullback in gold prices. The first meeting presided over by the new Federal Reserve Chairman, Waller, set a “hawkish” tone. Under his leadership, the central bank has the ability to “boost or suppress” gold market prices. The shock from the Middle East situation is expected to weigh on global growth in the third quarter. Subsequently, as global growth ultimately recovers and the monetary policy easing cycle begins, it should push gold prices lower, as more investor funds shift from precious metals to other assets. Investors have been taking profits and turning to the stock market, which creates room for them to re-enter the precious metals sector, thereby pushing prices higher, but a major macro event may be needed for investor interest in gold to be reignited. The average spot gold price is forecast at $4,641 in 2026, up 35% year-on-year, but is expected to fall 9.5% in 2027 to $4,200, then decline year by year through 2030. The bank lowered its year-end spot gold forecast from $4,400 to $4,300.

Updated Version 3 - According to the Financial Times, McKesson and CD&R are close to reaching a deal worth more than $5 billion to acquire Option Care.

In the fifth paragraph, a quote from analyst Sahil Pandey was added. Reuters, October 5 - According to the Financial Times, citing informed sources, pharmaceutical distributor McKesson (MCK.N) and private equity firm Clayton Dubilier & Rice are about to reach an acquisition agreement to purchase infusion service provider Option Care Health, with the deal valued (including debt) at over 5 billions USD. After the report was published, Option Care's share price rose by 21% in after-hours trading. The report stated that the deal could be announced as early as Tuesday, but negotiations could still fall through. This potential acquisition would be McKesson’s latest move in expanding its healthcare services portfolio. In August this year, the company agreed to acquire Precision Medicine Group for about 2.25 billions USD (link), as part of its effort over the years to strengthen high-growth business sectors. Leerink Partners analyst Michael Cherny said the “strategic logic” of the deal makes sense, as it would expand McKesson’s business from physician offices to care settings in the home and alternative sites. Option Care provides infusion services that allow patients to receive intravenous treatments at home or other outpatient settings, eliminating the need to go to the hospital. McKesson has previously been restructuring its business portfolio by divesting non-core assets and investing in fields such as oncology and specialty care (link). Driven by the growth of its specialty distribution business and contributions from acquisitions, revenue for its oncology and multi-specialty business segment grew by 33% in the latest fiscal quarter. McKesson declined to comment, while CD&R and Option Care did not immediately respond to Reuters’ requests for comment regarding the report.

Centalion acquires Hainesville natural gas assets from Silver Hill

Reuters, October 5 - Centalion Group announced on Monday that it has acquired upstream and midstream natural gas assets in the Haynesville region of Texas and Louisiana from Texas-based private shale company Silver Hill Energy Partners. The commodities trader, formerly known as Gunvor, rebranded as Centalion Group last week (link), and stated plans to relocate its corporate headquarters from Cyprus to Singapore. A spokesperson for Centalion Group said the Haynesville platform, composed of Post Oak and Silver Hill assets, has an enterprise value of approximately $2 billion. In August, Reuters cited sources stating that Centalion Group (link) was negotiating the acquisition of Silver Hill's assets, with a deal valued between $1.2 billion and $1.5 billion. The assets currently produce about 300 million cubic feet per day of natural gas (MMcfd), and the portfolio includes approximately 72,000 net acres in the Haynesville and Bossier development areas. "Our consideration was to establish operations in this basin, a hub for both domestic and export markets, in order to seize this option and create value from it," the spokesperson added.
