Buy gold or gold miners? You don’t have to dig deep to hit paydirt. If you want to bet on gold in coming weeks and months, you may want to favor gold-mining shares over gold bullion.

Gold recently hit a new all-time high above $2,200 an ounce, while the PHLX Gold/Silver Index XAU is below where it stood three years ago — as you can see in the chart below. This is good news for gold-mining shares, since historically they have performed well following periods in which they have significantly lagged bullion. « Previous Article Next Article » Share This Article Choose Your Platform: Facebook Twitter Google Plus Linkedin Related Posts US consumers on lower incomes face loan stress while banks pull back READ MORE The Commodities Feed: China buys more gold in February READ MORE What Does the Red Sea Disruption Mean for Europe's Economy?
