The price of gold has rallied over the summer months, seeing its third straight month of gains in July. Driving the price gains are a dovish Federal Reserve, central banks buying record amounts of the yellow metal and the continued U.S.-China trade war stirring up geopolitical tension. Zacks’ Sweta Killa writes that “gold is considered a great store of value and hedge against market turmoil” and recommends in an article several ETFs and stocks that investors could buy to gain exposure to the gold market.
One of those ETFs is the U.S. Global GO GOLD and Precious Metal Miners ETF (GOAU), which had a year-to-date return of 41.21 percent as of August 7. Two of the three gold mining stocks recommended in the article – Kinross Gold Corp and Harmony Gold Mining Company Ltd– were both held in GOAU as of August 7.
