Strong Stock Market Good for Gold Mining Companies

Daniela Cambone, host of Kitco News, welcomes Frank Holmes back to the program to chat on a day when the S&P 500 touches new record highs while gold moves lower. Frank says there is no reason for gold investors to worry. He explains that although gold bullion may be moving a bit lower, gold stocks are on a tear and are acting this way due to the strong stock market.

Looking back, a similar situation happened from 2001 to 2008 – the markets were strong and gold stocks outperformed bullion, Frank says. Then, during 2008 and 2009, the reverse happened and gold bullion outperformed gold stocks. So where could the metal head next? Watch the full interview below!
