Gold Speculators Pave The Way For 'Multiyear Bull Market In Metals'
Portfolio Pulse from Neil Dennis
Gold prices continue to rise, with speculators driving the price up at a rate not seen since 2019. Gold futures dipped slightly by 0.1% on Monday, but overall, gold added 4.3% over the last week. ETFs like SPDR Gold Shares ETF (GLD) and iShares Gold Trust ETF (IAU) saw similar gains. Analysts attribute the rise to a Goldilocks scenario and expect further increases due to geopolitical uncertainty and potential Federal Reserve policy changes. The VanEck Gold Miners ETF (GDX) and stocks like Newmont Goldcorp (NEM) and Barrick Gold Corp (GOLD) are also seeing positive movements.
