Gold Breaks Above $2,110, Inches Closer To Record High, With Rallying Mining Stocks
Portfolio Pulse from Piero Cingari
Gold prices, as tracked by the SPDR Gold Trust (GLD), have risen above $2,110 per troy ounce, nearing a record high and driving a surge in mining stocks. This increase marks the fourth consecutive session of gains, bringing gold within 1.4% of its all-time high. Despite rising Treasury yields, gold's strength persists amid unchanged market expectations for Federal Reserve rate cuts. The World Gold Council cites geopolitical uncertainty as a key driver for gold demand. Mining stocks, particularly those in the VanEck Gold Miners ETF (GDX) and Sprott Junior Gold Miners ETF (SGDJ), have seen significant gains, with GDX up 4.4% and SGDJ up 5.3%. Top-performing mining stocks include Harmony Gold Mining (HMY), Coeur Mining (CDE), and AngloGold Ashanti (AU), among others.
