Bank of America projects gold prices to rise to $2,500-$2,600 per ounce, advocating for physical gold ETFs like iShares Gold Trust Micro (IAUM) and SPDR Gold Minishares Trust (GLDM) over miners for equity investors. The report highlights gold's hedging quality and central bank purchases as key drivers of its rally, noting a potential demand increase from retail investors. For mining exposure, Barrick Gold Corp. (GOLD) and Newmont Corp. (NEM) are recommended, with a preference for iShares MSCI Global Gold Miners ETF (RING) and VanEck Gold Miners ETF (GDX) over other mining ETFs.

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.

Value investors are targeting mining stocks, particularly gold miners like Newmont Corp (NYSE:NEM), due to a significant market dislocation. Taylor McKenna of Kopernik Global Investors highlighted the gap between metal prices and mining company valuations, noting gold stocks are at a 50-80% discount despite rising gold prices. Newmont Corp's stock has dropped 60% from last year, despite gold's 10% price increase. McKenna views this as an undervaluation, especially after Newmont's acquisition of Newcrest Mining. ETFs holding Newmont Corp include iShares MSCI Global Gold Miners ETF (NYSE:RING), VanEck Gold Miners ETF (NYSE:GDX), and others, indicating a broader market impact.

Spot gold prices declined by about 1.25% on Thursday, following the release of advance estimates data by the U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis. The data showed a 2.4% annualized growth rate in the U.S. economy for Q2 2023 and a decline in unemployment, indicating a strong labor market. This is bearish for gold and gold miners. However, spot gold managed to hold above the 50-day simple moving average, suggesting a potential rebound. The Sprott Gold Miners ETF (SGDM) offers exposure to several gold miners and may be a good investment when the sector turns bullish.
