NEW YORK—
Gold price climbed for a fourth session on Tuesday, as the dollar weakened on concerns about political turmoil in the United States. Gold spot rose 0.49 percent to $1,236.80 per ounce at 1:14 p.m. on Tuesday. The U.S. dollar fell to its lowest level in more than six months after the President of United States allegedly revealed highly classified information to Russia's foreign minister and ambassador in a White House meeting, according to two U.S. officials. Gold prices could benefit from a weaker dollar, as it makes other currency holders cheaper to buy dollar-denominated commodities. Adam Strauss, portfolio manager at Appleseed Fund said, "There's been a lot of political volatility, but it hasn't hurt the stock market…Having said that, political issues could lead to a lower value for the dollar, which we expect will happen."

Investors pay close attention to economic data and look for further indications about the rate hike next month. The Commerce Department stated on Tuesday, that housing starts fell 2.6 percent to an annual rate of 1.17 million units in April, missing economists' forecast of 1.26 million. Housing is one of the drivers of economic growth and has raised concerns when permits decreased 2.5 percent to a 1.23 million annualized pace, also falling short of economists' estimate of 1.27 million. The Fed increased the borrowing cost by 25 basis points in March and will consider another rate hike next month.
Kenadyr Mining Holdings Corp. (OTC: KNDYF) announced this week, "Drilling has commenced on the South Zone of Kenadyr's 100% owned Borubai License, Kyrgyz Republic. The South Zone is directly adjacent to Zijin Mining Group Co Ltd.'s Taldy-Bulak Levoberejny ("TBL") Mine deposit, currently in production. (TSX-V: KEN)
Initial drilling is designed to intersect an area which was previously drilled by the Soviet's between 1970 and 1990, and which intersected significant gold mineralization. The South Zone is open in three directions and to depth and drilling in this zone has the potential to see increased grade of the mineralization (from historic numbers) as a result of increased core recovery (core recovery during Soviet drilling averaged only 60% recovery) and the use of Fire Assay versus ICP analysis techniques (which were predominately used during Soviet assaying).
The target depth of the initial drill hole is 850 meters. Kenadyr is in a strong position to embark on this upcoming program, having a strong balance sheet, no debt nor significant payments owing, a strong institutional shareholder base and a management team with extensive in-country operational experience, and merger and acquisition expertise."
Dr. Alexander Becker, Kenadyr Chief Executive Officer, states, "Drilling has now commenced, ahead of schedule and this is a testament to the team's strong efforts in the field along with the efficiency of QED, the drill contractor. The South Zone is a high priority area for Kenadyr with excellent underlying geology. It is open and strongly mineralized at the extent of drilling, according to historical results, and we look forward to retesting this area, to confirm the high grade results reported from previous drilling."
