Investors these days are facing a wall of worry. Uncertainty surrounding conflict, government policy, and still stubborn inflation have all created a volatile environment for equities and even the stable bond market. Stocks and bonds have continued to swing. For investors, all this increased volatility has many worried, particularly with return projections starting to drop.
But one asset class and the stocks that operate in its sector are riding strong. And that’s gold.
Gold prices have continued to climb toward record highs, boosting the fortunes of the precious metal and the firms that dig the stuff out of the ground. With uncertainty and volatility still rising, some mainstream analysts now predict that gold has plenty of potential to keep the gains going. For investors looking for a way to calm their fears, gold and the gold miners could be the answer.
