With the soaring price of gold, economist and gold advocate Peter Schiff posted on social media platform X, saying: "Golden shareholders overlook an important point, that is, gold prices do not have to continue to rise to drive up gold mining stocks." He further points out that even if the gold price remains at its current level, gold mining stocks will still rise significantly. Schiff believes that the gold price will not stay at the current level, which will make gold stocks a "sweet spot" in the eyes of large investors.
The trading price of gold has reached a new all-time high, exceeding $2,530. This has led to VanEck's Gold Miners ETF (a influential precious metals ETF) hitting a new 52-week high and breaking the previous all-time high set over a month ago. Schiff observed that the Vaneck Junior Gold Miners ETF (GDXJ), which focuses on small gold mining companies, still needs to rise 1.8% to reach a new 52-week high. Despite such splendid performance, most stock investors remain skeptical about the future upward trend of these stocks.
VanEck's Gold Miners ETF (GDX) is a stock fund that serves as an important benchmark for gold mining stocks and is commonly used to track the performance of medium to large gold mining companies. On the other hand, Vaneck Junior Gold Miners ETF (GDXJ) focuses on smaller junior gold mining companies.
On Monday, Schiff also mentioned that the closing price of gold has exceeded $2,500 for two consecutive days, and many gold mining stocks have reached a new 52-week high. He confidently stated that "the stage is set for a big bull market" and predicted that the precious metal mining industry will not only perform well for the rest of this year, but also for the next ten years.
On Tuesday, Schiff stated that investors need to pay attention to the declining US dollar index, as the price of gold reaches a new all-time high and the US dollar index hits a 7-month low. He warned that these market signals indicate that the Federal Reserve may make a major policy mistake by cutting interest rates too early, which could be the latest one among many policy mistakes but could lead to a market collapse.
