0158 GMT - Australian gold miners appear undervalued at spot gold prices, according to Macquarie. "A spot price scenario could imply circa 20% multiple valuation upside," all else being equal, the bank says in a note to clients. Macquarie reckons miners could earn roughly 65% Ebitda margins if spot gold prices remain steady. Newmont is its preferred gold major, and Capricorn Metals its preferred mid-cap stock. The precious metal has traded mostly between $4,500-$4,900 an ounce since a March selloff, says the bank. Spot gold recently traded at about $4,730 an ounce. Macquarie's own long-term gold forecast is roughly one-third lower than the spot price, it says. (rhiannon.hoyle@wsj.com; @RhiannonHoyle)
