The fundamental difference between gold and miners is that gold offers no interest and dividends but miners does, and in addition, miners can do stock buybacks.  Not saying gold won't go up . At current gold prices, miners are still racking it in. USA are still printing paper currency, and their debt are at a all time high. Russia is selling gold , not because gold is worthless but because they need to support their war economy. Same thing with other countries but most countries are increasing their holdings of gold. Both HK and Singapore has build large physical vaults, so that tells you the direction of gold.

The "Munificent 7": Why Energy Stocks Are the Best Way to Play the AI Build-Out, Says Former Goldman Strategist
The Floor Under Gold Miners Isn’t Where You’re Looking For most of 2026, gold miners have been traded as a macro derivative — a leveraged bet on Fed policy, geopolitical risk, and the dollar’s direction. That framing missed the actual story. Q1 earnings season changed the picture. At gold prices around $4,700/oz, the major producers are running 60-70% gross margins. Industry leaders are reporting all-in sustaining costs between $1,400 and $1,800 per ounce — meaning every ounce produced generates $2,900 to $3,300 in cash margin.
