Gold Prices Soar and Alamos Gold Rides the Wave — AltIndex Saw It Coming
April 21, 1:43 pm
As the U.S. dollar continues to slip and market uncertainty rises, investors are turning to one of the oldest safe-haven assets: gold.
On Monday, gold prices surged to an all-time high, breaking past $3,400 an ounce. Spot gold climbed 2.6% to $3,415.24, after reaching an intraday record of $3,424.25. Meanwhile, U.S. gold futures jumped 3% to $3,426.30. The rally was driven by a weakening dollar - sparked in part by President Donald Trump's criticism of Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell - and renewed concerns around U.S.-China trade relations. As trust in the U.S. economy wavers, gold becomes more attractive to investors seeking stability.
One company that’s capitalizing on this gold rush is Alamos Gold (AGI) - and at AltIndex, we flagged the opportunity early.
