For investors in the gold sector 2019 was a year of liberation from a year-long sideways trend. During this period, the troy ounce of gold was traded in the range of approximately USD 1,257.00 to USD 1,557.00. In the time window from May to September, the price rose by around USD 300.00, thus causing a great deal of euphoria among investors. In addition to the physical precious metal, investors also have the opportunity to participate in the value chain from the extraction of the precious metal.

    Heavyweight gold producer

    The gold producer Barrick Gold is one of the largest market participants in this segment with a current price of EUR 15.79 and a market capitalization of over EUR 28 billion. Last year, the company's shares were traded between lows and highs of less than EUR 11.00 and more than EUR 18.00. Investors who had Barrick in their portfolios were able to experience volatility, but in regards to that this stock certainly has the charm of a fully comprehensive insurance policy for the financial system, diversification often outweighs as a motivation against price fluctuations.

    Potential in the Yukon

    The shares of the exploration company Triumph Gold was also subject to intensive price fluctuations last year. With a price of EUR 0.185 per share and a current market value of less than EUR 16 million, the company is one of the lightweights on the market. Triumph Gold is active in the Canadian Yukon and explores the company's own properties there. One of Triumph Gold's largest shareholders is Newmont with a stake of around 18%. The shares of Triumph Gold changed hands in 2019 between below EUR 0.15 and above EUR 0.35. It will probably only be a matter of time before the share wakes up from its slumber.

    Gold price indicates where the price is heading

    Yamana Gold is a precious metals producer with properties in North and South America. The company's shares changed hands last year at less than EUR 1.65 in the low and more than EUR 3.50 in the high. Currently, Yamana Gold has a market capitalization of EUR 3.1 billion at a price of EUR 3.38 and is thus in the midfield of the companies mentioned above.

    The further development of the gold price will usually influence the interest of investors - the higher the price of the troy ounce, the higher the margin. In the case of Triumph Gold, it can be assumed that the management is seeking a takeover by a major gold producer. It stands to reason that Newmont is also on the list of candidates as a major shareholder.

    Is It Time to Sell Gerresheimer? Aerospace and Gold Contenders Step Into the Spotlight: OHB and Lahontan Gold in Focus

    A major coup for OHB. Germany's space industry hopeful has secured a contract worth billions. Could this also give the share price another boost? Even its inclusion in the SDAX failed to halt the sharp correction. The gold price is currently performing strongly once again. As such, the timing for Lahontan Gold shares could hardly be better. The exploration company is currently taking the final steps toward becoming a producer. The mine is set to be built in the US state of Nevada next year. The resource estimate was recently raised to 2.4 million ounces, and management sees plenty more potential. Is the rally at Gerresheimer, up over 50%, now coming to an end? The group, battered by profit warnings, costly takeovers and accounting issues, is working on a comeback. Yet analysts are advising "Sell".

    Gold in Higher Demand Than Ever: Investors Turn to Aya Gold & Silver, Lahontan Gold and Perseus Mining

    Gold has delivered a strong performance in recent weeks, and the correction now appears to be over. Many investors took profits in the spring after the US dollar strengthened amid the war in the Persian Gulf. This was arguably irrational, as the problems that had driven a steady flight into gold had not been resolved. Instead, capital markets are now facing the same mountain of challenges. US Treasury yields are rising as markets are becoming less willing to finance the country at such low rates. Meanwhile, US government debt has surpassed the USD 40 trillion mark. Within five years, America's debt burden has therefore increased by almost one-third. These bonds will likely never be repaid, but will instead be eroded by inflation. And that is what makes gold so strong: the now higher price is also driving up the valuations of gold shares. Every ounce that comes out of the ground is, quite literally, worth its weight in gold. We are therefore looking at the shares of Aya Gold & Silver, Lahontan Gold and Perseus Mining.

    The gold market has made an impressive comeback following the correction in August, temporarily climbing back above USD 4,600 per ounce. This is more than just a technical rebound, as several fundamental factors are supporting the rally. Record central bank purchases, exploding US national debt, and the prospect of imminent interest rate cuts are giving gold renewed appeal. For investors, the question is no longer whether to participate in the uptrend, but how to benefit from it. Today, we take a closer look at Barrick Mining, Lahontan Gold, and Wheaton Precious Metals.
