๐๐๐Gold is doing what Gold does best -rising when the world forgets how to stay calm. Spot Gold just surged through another all time high at USD 4,690/Oz, a 2% surge in just 1 session. Markets are not reacting to numbers anymore. Markets are reacting to narratives - tariffs on European nations, territorial disputes, political investigations and a global mood that feels increasingly brittle.
When trust erodes, Gold becomes the last language that everyone still understands.
That is why I position myself with 2 tactical weapons:
IAU: My Pure Efficient No Drama Gold Exposure
$Gold Trust Ishares(IAU)$
GLD maybe the bigger brand but IAU is the smarter choice for disciplined investors who care about efficiency. Over years of compounding, that lower fees matter and I choose to keep more of my returns.
IAU is my quiet anchor. My steady heartbeat in volatile markets.
RING ETF: The Amplifier Riding The Gold Miners' Momentum
If IAU is the shield, $iShares MSCI Global Gold Miners ETF(RING)$ is the spear. RING gives me leveraged exposure to the Gold cycle through the companies that mine Gold. When Gold rises, Gold miners often rise more. This is because their margins expand and their Gold reserves revalue.
RING's top holdings are the backbone of global gold production - the giants that move when Gold moves.
$Newmont Mining(NEM)$
$Barrick Mining Corporation(B)$ has operational scale and a disciplined cost structure. This leads to strong earnings when Gold rallies.
Agnico Eagle Mines is known for its high quality, low risk mines in stable jurisdictions.
Gold Fields is a South African powerhouse with expanding production and improving margins.
Newcrest Mining is a major player with long life assets and strong copper by product credits.
These Gold mining companies are the best and largest in the world. When Gold jumps, Gold Miners can jump even higher. That is why RING is my tactical amplifier for Gold.
Where Does Gold Go From Here
Geopolitical risk is no longer just a headline. It is a theme and this theme does not fade quickly.
Central banks are buying. Currencies are wobbling. Trade tensions are escalating.
Investors are rediscovering the ancient truth that Gold still remains the safe haven.
Gold may even reach USD 5000 in 2026. But I stand ready with IAU and RING ETFs to provide me with the diversification and tactical hedge in times of market volatility.
