Inflation in Gold!!!
$AEM warns that rising diesel prices risk raising the cost of producing gold by as much as $80/oz next year
Agnico expects elevated diesel prices to add about $50 to $60/oz to its costs in t4Q26, up from roughly $30/oz in the prior period
Agnico's AISC hit $1,648/oz in 3Q26
Note: IEA warns that diesel markets could remain tight until mid-2027, with the warning that depleted inventories & refinery bottlenecks will delay recovery even longer
Inelasticity of diesel demand has remained strong b/c govts have been intervening to ease the impact of high prices
While growing volumes of crude oil have moved out of the Persian Gulf & the Middle East in recent weeks, the barrels come at a high cost & high risk. Additional crude oil exports cannot ease the reduced refinery output in the Middle East, which was a major diesel & jet fuel supplier before the war
