Gold prices surged to over $2,200 per ounce, influenced by the Federal Reserve's indication of interest rate cuts, leading to a 30% rally in several gold mining stocks. Bank of America analysts favor gold as a trade for 2024, citing its hedge status, central bank accumulations, and potential ETF investor increases. Despite gold's rise, some mining stocks like the VanEck Gold Miners ETF (GDX) lag behind. Bank of America identifies undervalued stocks such as Centerra Gold Inc. (CGAU), B2Gold Corp. (BTG), Barrick Gold Corp. (GOLD), and Newmont Corp. (NEM), recommending stocks with high upside beta ratios.
