The View From The Montana Log-Cabin As Gold Continues To Hold $2,300

By Nigel Somerville | Sunday 30 June 2024

Disclosure: I own shares in one or more of the stocks mentioned. I wrote this article myself, and it expresses my own opinions. I am not receiving compensation for it (other than from ShareProphets). I have no business relationship with any company whose stock is mentioned in this article.

Gold closed the week at $2,326 – marginally up on last week’s $2,320 but still essentially going nowhere even though it has just notched up a third consecutive quarterly high. That’s all very well, but for now it remains in a correction.
