Newmont (NYSE:NEM) 주식

Newmont

Newmont is the world's largest gold miner. It bought Goldcorp in 2019, combined its Nevada mines in a joint venture with competitor Barrick later that year, and also purchased competitor Newcrest in November 2023. Its portfolio includes 17 wholly or majority owned mines and interests in two joint ventures in the Americas, Africa, Australia and Papua New Guinea. The company is expected to sell roughly 5.5 million ounces of gold in 2025 from its core mines after selling six higher-cost, smaller mines, likely effective mid-2025. Newmont also produces material amounts of copper, silver, zinc, and lead as byproducts. It had about two decades of gold reserves along with significant byproduct reserves at the end of December 2024.

Investors are constantly on the hunt for undervalued, under-followed and emerging stocks. With countless methods available to retail traders, the challenge often lies in sifting through the abundance of information to uncover new opportunities and understand why certain stocks should be of interest.

Here's a look at the Benzinga Stock Whisper Index for the week ending March 28:
Applied Industrial Technologies (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AIT#NYSE">AIT</a>): The industrial products distributor saw strong interest from readers during the week. KeyBanc recently maintained an Overweight rating on the stock while lowering the price target from $325 to $275. Applied Industrial will likely report third-quarter financial results in late April. The company missed earnings per share estimates in the second quarter but has beaten analyst estimates in nine of the last 10 quarters. The company also missed revenue estimates in the second quarter but has beaten analyst estimates in seven of the last 10 quarters. Applied Industrial <a href="https://ir.applied.com/news/news-details/2025/Applied-Industrial-Technologies-Reports-Fiscal-2025-Second-Quarter-Results/default.aspx">raised </a>full-year guidance after the second quarter thanks to its strong quarter and the Hydradyne acquisition. The stock will be one to watch ahead of the next earnings report.
Applied Industrial stock was down for the week, as seen on the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pro/register?utm_adType=bzprocontent&amp;utm_campaign=14daytrial&amp;utm_ad=0328">Benzinga Pro chart </a>below. The stock is up 14% over the last year.
<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pro/register?utm_adType=bzprocontent&amp;utm_campaign=14daytrial&amp;utm_ad=0328"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="997" height="502" src="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/28160513/Screenshot-366.png" alt="" class="wp-image-847698" srcset="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/28160513/Screenshot-366.png 997w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/28160513/Screenshot-366-300x151.png 300w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/28160513/Screenshot-366-768x387.png 768w" sizes="(max-width: 997px) 100vw, 997px" /></a></figure>
Wheaton Precious Metals Corp (NYES: WPM): Mining stocks like Wheaton Precious Metals saw increased interest from readers with gold at record prices and President Donald Trump encouraging more mining. The stock trades near all-time highs with a recent strong fourth quarter showing the company beating earnings per share for the fourth time in five quarters. The company missed revenue estimates in the fourth quarter, which was the third straight quarter of missing analyst estimates. Wheaton reported record revenue, adjusted net earnings and operating cash flow in 2024. The company has 18 operating mines and 28 development projects. A five-year outlook from the company calls for annual production to increase by 40% to 870,000 gold equivalent ounces. With gold prices at all-time highs, the stock could be one in the sector that investors keep an eye on, given the record 2024 and five-year growth outlook.

Newmont Corporation (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NEM#NYSE">NEM</a>): Speaking of gold and mining, the world's largest gold miner Newmont also saw increased interest from readers. The company <a href="https://www.newmont.com/investors/news-release/news-details/2025/Newmont-Reports-Fourth-Quarter-and-Full-Year-2024-Results-Provides-Full-Year-2025-Guidance/default.aspx">reported </a>fourth-quarter results in February, with strong results reported including a focus on getting rid of non-core assets and focusing on Tier-1 assets. The company has beaten analyst estimates for earnings per share in three of the last four quarters and beaten analyst estimates for revenue in three of the last four quarters. With investors looking for exposure to gold and other precious metals, Newmont could continue to see shares trade higher. The stock was up around 2% on the week and shares are up 34% over the last year.
<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pro/register?utm_adType=bzprocontent&amp;utm_campaign=14daytrial&amp;utm_ad=0328"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1001" height="454" src="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/28160548/Screenshot-368.png" alt="" class="wp-image-847700" srcset="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/28160548/Screenshot-368.png 1001w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/28160548/Screenshot-368-300x136.png 300w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/28160548/Screenshot-368-768x348.png 768w" sizes="(max-width: 1001px) 100vw, 1001px" /></a></figure>
Welltower Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WELL#NYSE">WELL</a>): The healthcare REIT saw increased interest from readers during the week. The company owns a portfolio of over 2,0000 senior housing properties, medical offices and skilled nursing properties. Several analysts have raised their price targets on the stock ahead of first-quarter financial results, which will likely be reported next month. The company has beaten analyst estimates for earnings per share in four straight quarters and beaten analyst estimates for revenue in two straight quarters. Earlier this month, Welltower <a href="https://welltower.com/investors/press-release-details/?id=780">announced </a>the acquisition of 38 ultra-luxury senior housing communities and nine entitled development parcels from Ontario Teachers' Pension Plan.
The stock trades near all-time highs and shares are up 34% over the last year.
<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pro/register?utm_adType=bzprocontent&amp;utm_campaign=14daytrial&amp;utm_ad=0328"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="999" height="502" src="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/28160603/Screenshot-369.png" alt="" class="wp-image-847701" srcset="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/28160603/Screenshot-369.png 999w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/28160603/Screenshot-369-300x151.png 300w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/28160603/Screenshot-369-768x386.png 768w" sizes="(max-width: 999px) 100vw, 999px" /></a></figure>
Deere &amp; Company (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DE#NYSE">DE</a>): One of the larger stocks to appear on the Stock Whisper Index is agricultural equipment company Deere &amp; Company. Readers were drawn to the company this week with minimal news. The industrial sector continues to see pressure due to tariff threats and concerns that there will be declines in investment and large spending on equipment. Deere &amp; Company's next earnings results will come around May. The company has beaten analyst estimates for earnings per share in 10 straight quarters and beaten revenue estimates in more than 10 straight quarters. In February, the company's <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/02/43692928/deeres-q1-earnings-beat-forecasts-yet-sales-and-profits-slide-amid-declining-equipment-demand">first-quarter results </a>beat estimates, but several segments saw double-digit declines on a year-over-year basis. Guidance for the full year shows some recovery in the company's main operating segments.
Deere &amp; Company&#8217;s stock was down on the week, but shares are up 13% over the last year. The stock is one to watch if industrials show a turnaround or strength going forward.

Benzinga's 'Stock Whisper' Index: 5 Stocks Investors Secretly Monitor But Don't Talk About Yet

Gold miners dominated <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/mergers-and-acquisitions" rel="noreferrer noopener">mergers and acquisitions (M&amp;A) activity</a> in the metals and mining industry in 2024. Research by S&amp;P Global Market Intelligence found that yellow metal deals accounted for 70% of the total transaction value.
The <a target="_blank" href="https://www.spglobal.com/market-intelligence/en/news-insights/research/mining-mna-in-2024-gold-dominates-mna-space-for-2nd-consecutive-year" rel="noreferrer noopener">report</a> showed 62 gold-related transactions, compared to 47 in 2023, or a 32% growth. Although the overall deal value remained relatively close, at $26.36 billion, the $16.5 billion Newmont's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NEM#NYSE">NEM</a>) acquisition of Newcrest was an outlier, skewing the numbers for the year before.
Most of 2024's M&amp;A occurred in two top jurisdictions, Australia and Canada. Gold's 27% surge in 2024 further incentivized acquisitions, while geopolitical risks, including the persisting conflict in Ukraine, tensions in the Middle East, and rising central bank purchases, encouraged expansions through acquisitions.
Northern Star Resources (OTCPK: NESRF) <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/12/42262825/northern-star-acquires-de-grey-for-33-billion-secures-promising-tier-1-asset" rel="noreferrer noopener">$3.26 billion acquisition</a> of De Grey Mining was the largest single transaction, consolidating ownership of one of Australia's most promising gold deposits. The number two spot went to AngloGold Ashanti's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AU#NYSE">AU</a>) <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/large-cap/24/09/40790433/anglogold-ashanti-to-acquire-centamin-for-2-5b-to-become-fourth-largest-gold-producer" rel="noreferrer noopener">$2.48 billion takeover</a> of Centamin, strengthening its African presence.
In contrast, despite copper's growing popularity, copper-focused M&amp;A was comparatively subdued, with 16 total deals amounting to $5.7 billion. The largest one was Lundin Mining and BHP's joint <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/07/40031488/bhp-to-unlock-south-american-copper-riches-partners-with-lundin-for-filo-acquisition" rel="noreferrer noopener">$3.03 billion acquisition</a> of Filo Corp. If BHP's <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/large-cap/24/05/39068033/time-runs-out-for-bhp-deal-49-billion-acquisition-of-anglo-american-proves-too-complex-to-solve" rel="noreferrer noopener">$49 billion bid for </a><a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/large-cap/24/05/39068033/time-runs-out-for-bhp-deal-49-billion-acquisition-of-anglo-american-proves-too-complex-to-solve" rel="noreferrer noopener">Anglo American</a> had succeeded, the situation would have been vastly different.
S&amp;P's report also highlighted that while overall deal value remained stable, the absence of a $10 billion-plus megadeal meant that the average transaction size fell to $428.1 million—the lowest in five years and a 24% decline from 2023.
Large miners like Newmont sold smaller portfolio parts, focusing on top assets. At the same time, intermediate producers sought those assets to pursue margin-boosting synergies and growth necessary to break into the big leagues of producing over 1 million ounces annually.
In 2025, S&amp;P predicts further positive momentum in gold M&amp;A as metal prices bid new highs. The sector has already seen notable activity in early 2025, including Equinox Gold's $1.87 billion bid for Calibre Mining. However, <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/03/44394574/the-largest-shareholder-opposes-equinoxs-18-billion-acquisition" rel="noreferrer noopener">opposition from Equinox's top shareholder</a>, Van Eck, raises questions about whether the deal will proceed. Van Eck, who holds significant stakes in both companies, cited a lack of operational synergies as a key concern.
Gold Fields'<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/03/44458684/gruyere-power-struggle-gold-fields-surprise-offer-rejected-countermove-denied" rel="noreferrer noopener"> $2.1 billion offer</a> for Gold Road Resources announced this week was rejected as "opportunistic," with Gold Road arguing it undervalued its assets. The deal would have given Gold Fields full control over the Gruyere gold mine, but Gold Road proposed buying out Gold Fields' stake—a counteroffer that was subsequently rejected.

Shares of precious metals stocks are trading higher amid strength in gold and silver. Gold reached an all-time high.

Shares of gold and silver companies are trading higher amid a drop in the dollar.

Newmont's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NEM#NYSE">NEM</a>) short percent of float has fallen 10.16% since its last report. The company recently reported that it has 19.41 million shares sold short, which is 2.21% of all regular shares that are available for trading. Based on its trading volume, it would take traders 1.5 days to cover their short positions on average.
<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock?adType=benzinga-insights&amp;ad=short-interest&amp;campaign=wallstreetadvantage">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.
Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.

<h3>Newmont Short Interest Graph (3 Months)</h3>
<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2025/1741976117_0.png" alt="short_fig" />
As you can see from the chart above the percentage of shares that are sold short for Newmont has declined since its last report. This does not mean that the stock is going to rise in the near-term but traders should be aware that less shares are being shorted.
<h3>Comparing Newmont's Short Interest Against Its Peers</h3>
Peer comparison is a popular technique amongst analysts and investors for gauging how well a company is performing. A company's peer is another company that has similar characteristics to it, such as industry, size, age, and financial structure. You can find a company's peer group by reading its 10-K, proxy filing, or by doing your own similarity analysis.

What's Driving the Market Sentiment Around Newmont?

Gold extended its rally on Friday, surging past the $3,000 mark in early trading, driven by escalating trade tensions, economic uncertainty, and expectations of a Federal Reserve rate cut.
Spot gold, as tracked by the SPDR Gold Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GLD#NYSE">GLD</a>), traded at $3,004 per ounce at 7:30 a.m. ET, rising 1.78% and marking its third consecutive session of gains.
The VIX index, which is also known as the fear gauge, is up 63% in the last 12 months and up 39% year-to-date.

Rising recession risks, renewed trade war threats from former President Donald Trump, and unusual market dynamics fuel the rally. Analysts point to hidden buyers and increasing demand for safe-haven assets as key drivers.
Gold, which is also seen as a safe-haven asset, usually trades in an inverse relationship with the VIX. When the market experiences fear, the money moves in gold for safety.

Gold Breaches $3,000 Mark On Market Turbulence And Fed Signals

A fresh wave of selling sent the S&amp;P 500 spiraling into technical correction territory on Thursday, falling 10% from its all-time high, as trade tensions escalated following President Donald Trump's <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/donald-trump">latest tariff threats.</a>
In a volatile session Thursday, the S&amp;P 500 – as tracked by the SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPY#NYSE">SPY</a>) – closed at 5,521 points, marking a 10% drop from its Feb. 19 peak of 6,147.
The index now sits 3.8% below its 200-day moving average of 5,738, a level many traders consider a key threshold. 
Only 37% of S&amp;P 500 stocks are trading above this moving average, the lowest proportion since November 2023—a sign of broad-based market weakness.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Trade War Jitters Shake Markets</h3>
The sell-off accelerated after Trump took to his Truth Social platform, threatening to impose 200% tariffs on all European alcoholic products in response to the EU's decision to slap a 50% tariff on American whiskey.
Earlier this week, Canada announced 25% retaliatory duties on over $20 billion worth of U.S. goods, while the EU planned to impose counter-tariffs starting in April.
Despite the tariff turmoil, recent inflation data painted a more optimistic picture for the U.S. economy. Both consumer and producer prices have come in below expectations this year, reinforcing hopes that the Federal Reserve&#8217;s disinflation efforts are gaining traction. Markets are pricing in three Fed interest rate cuts this year. 
Yet, markets remain laser-focused on trade policy risks. Investors worry that escalating tariffs could undermine corporate earnings, disrupt supply chains, and reignite inflationary pressures—potentially forcing the Fed to rethink its rate-cut trajectory.

S&P 500 Enters Technical Correction As Trade War Fears Rattle Markets

PAAS

Shares of precious metals stocks are trading higher amid strength in gold and silver due to tariff uncertainty. Gold reached an all-time high.

Gold's strong rise continues, with the precious metal hitting a fresh record on Thursday as investors rush to shield their portfolios from mounting trade<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/tariffs"> tensions and economic uncertainty.</a>
Spot gold as tracked by the SPDR Gold Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GLD#NYSE">GLD</a>) traded at $2,969 per ounce at 10:52 a.m. ET, gaining 1.2% and marking its third consecutive session of gains. The metal surged 13% so far in 2025, outpacing every other major asset class.
The S&amp;P 500 — tracked by the SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPY#NYSE">SPY</a>) — is down 5.2%, Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) has lost 12% and the U.S. dollar index has slipped 4% year-to-date.
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">Why Is Gold Soaring?</h1>
Gold's rally is driven by a cocktail of economic and geopolitical risks. President Donald Trump's administration has reignited fears of a global trade war, by threatening countries with high tariffs. 
Meanwhile, signs of economic weakness are becoming more pronounced. The Atlanta Federal Reserve's GDPNow model projects a 2.4% contraction for the U.S. economy in the first quarter of 2025, while JPMorgan has raised its probability of a recession this year to 40%.
&#8220;A large and unknown player is driving gold's recent rally,&#8221; Ross Norman, CEO of Metals Daily Ltd. said. This could explain why the metal is defying normal trading patterns and pushing higher despite fluctuating bond yields and currency movements.
&#8220;As the trade war started by President Trump worsens, there is no wonder why gold continues to be one of the best-performing assets right now,&#8221; veteran market strategist Ed Yardeni said.
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">Where Does Gold Go From Here?</h1>
With risk aversion dominating sentiment, analysts are raising their gold price forecasts. Joni Teves of UBS Investment Bank, speaking on CNBC's &#8220;Squawk Box,&#8221; said, &#8220;Risk aversion created by the geopolitical landscape, particularly tariffs, is still going to work in favor of adding gold to the portfolio.&#8221; 
UBS expects gold to reach $3,100 per ounce by the end of the year.
Macquarie Group analysts are even more bullish, forecasting gold could hit $3,500 by the third quarter.
"We view gold's price strength to date, and our expectation for it to continue, as primarily being driven by investors' and official institutions' greater willingness to pay for its lack of credit or counterparty risk," the organization wrote.
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">Mining Stocks Soar On The Heels Of Gold Rally</h1>
The gold rally has breathed new life into mining stocks, though many remain well below past highs.
The VanEck Gold Miners ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GDX#NYSE">GDX</a>) jumped 3.2% but is still trading 35% below its 2011 peak. The VanEck Junior Gold Miners ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GDXJ#NYSE">GDXJ</a>) also gained 3.2% but remains 70% below its 2010 record.
Among individual stocks, Newmont Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NEM#NYSE">NEM</a>) climbed 5.1%, B2Gold Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BTG#NYSE">BTG</a>) advanced 4.8%, Kinross Gold (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/KGC#NYSE">KGC</a>) added 3.8%, Franco-Nevada Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FNV#NYSE">FNV</a>) gained 3.1% and Barrick Gold Corp.

Looking At Newmont's Recent Unusual Options Activity

Newmont Corporation (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NEM#NYSE">NEM</a>) will release its fourth-quarter financial results, after the closing bell, on <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/NEM/earnings">Thursday, Feb. 20.</a>
Analysts expect the Denver, Colorado-based company to report quarterly earnings at $1.04 per share, up from 50 cents per share in the year-ago period. Newmont projects quarterly revenue of $5.3 billion, compared to $3.96 billion a year earlier, according to data from <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">Benzinga Pro</a>.
On Jan. 27, Newmont finalized a $425 million deal to sell its Porcupine mine in Ontario to Discovery Silver (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DSVSF#OTC">DSVSF</a>), thus concluding its divestment from non-core assets.
With the recent buzz around Newmont, some investors may be eyeing potential gains from the company's dividends too. As of now, Newmont offers an annual dividend yield of 2.11%, which is a quarterly dividend amount of 25 cents per share ($1.00 a year). &nbsp;
So, how can investors exploit its dividend yield to pocket a regular $500 monthly?
To earn $500 per month or $6,000 annually from dividends alone, you would need an investment of approximately $284,460 or around 6,000 shares. For a more modest $100 per month or $1,200 per year, you would need $56,892 or around 1,200 shares.
To calculate: Divide the desired annual income ($6,000 or $1,200) by the dividend ($1.00 in this case). So, $6,000 / $1.00 = 6,000 ($500 per month), and $1,200 / $1.00 = 1,200 shares ($100 per month).
Note that dividend yield can change on a rolling basis, as the dividend payment and the stock price both fluctuate over time.
How that works: The dividend yield is computed by dividing the annual dividend payment by the stock&#8217;s current price.
For example, if a stock pays an annual dividend of $2 and is currently priced at $50, the dividend yield would be 4% ($2/$50). However, if the stock price increases to $60, the dividend yield drops to 3.33% ($2/$60). Conversely, if the stock price falls to $40, the dividend yield rises to 5% ($2/$40).
Similarly, changes in the dividend payment can impact the yield. If a company increases its dividend, the yield will also increase, provided the stock price stays the same. Conversely, if the dividend payment decreases, so will the yield.
NEM Price Action: Shares of Newmont fell 0.2% to close at $47.41 on Wednesday.

<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock/">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.
Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.

<h3>Comparing Newmont's Short Interest Against Its Peers</h3>
Peer comparison is a popular technique amongst analysts and investors for gauging how well a company is performing. A company's peer is another company that has similar characteristics to it, such as industry, size, age, and financial structure. You can find a company's peer group by reading its 10-K, proxy filing, or by doing your own similarity analysis.
According to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/">Benzinga Pro</a>, Newmont's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 3.71%, which means the company has less short interest than most of its peers.

How Is The Market Feeling About Newmont?

With President Donald Trump's trade war rhetoric reaching new heights, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/gold">gold has emerged</a> as the go-to asset for savvy investors. 
Its 7% surge since his inauguration and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/25/02/43728557/time-to-lock-in-gold-gains">recent record highs</a> make it the ultimate "Trump trade" of 2025. But for U.S. investors, this golden rally presents a unique opportunity to profit, not just from the metal itself but from a selection of stocks and ETFs poised to benefit.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Gold's Bullish Surge: Why It's Happening</h2>
Gold's rally isn't just fueled by political uncertainty. Trump's aggressive tariff policies are creating inflationary pressures, and as global growth slows, gold acts as a safe-haven. 
Central banks and traders are shifting their focus to the yellow metal, further driving up its value. 
Analysts are now targeting $3,000 per ounce, with UBS and Citigroup revising their forecasts upward, <a href="https://www.ft.com/content/fb53df86-c6f0-4550-ab84-222b3a6282f4">reported</a> Financial Times.
