Gold Holds Firm As Tensions Ease

May 11, 2026

Ladies and gentlemen, the Australian Gold Weekly Review is back, and this week, the market delivered yet another interesting twist.

Gold ended the week at US$4,715/oz, with silver climbing to US$80/oz, while oil eased lower to US$94/bbl as investors increasingly appeared to price in easing tensions between the US and Iran following negotiations between the two countries.

The ASX All Ordinaries Gold Index followed suit with bullion, ending the week at 17,637.18 points as gold equities continued to hold elevated levels.

But are equities now beginning to stabilise alongside the commodity? And could this be setting up the next move higher across the sector?

Brian's got you covered.

Fresh from attending the RIU Conference, Brian breaks down the key themes, conversations, and sentiment emerging from one of the mining industry's biggest events.

But the story doesn't end there.

Because in the member's section, Brian dives deep into Great Boulder Resources' decision to acquire Westgold Resources Peak Hill Mine, a move which could dramatically accelerate GBR's pathway toward becoming a producer within the next 18 months.

Having tracked the company closely for the last four years, Brian discusses whether this announcement could finally act as the catalyst investors have been waiting for.

Does this acquisition fundamentally change the company's trajectory? And more importantly, is the market still underestimating what GBR could become from here?
