Don't Assume This Gold-Miner Rally Is Over

We're currently in the middle of the greatest technology cycle of the past two decades...

Artificial intelligence ("AI") has sucked all the air out of the room. It's driving spending like we haven't seen since the dot-com bubble. And investors haven't cared for much else over the past few years.

That mistake has led many folks to miss the incredible gains happening in one sector...

For most of 2025, the way to make the most money hasn't been with AI.

Surprisingly, the big winner this year has been precious metals... specifically gold miners.

They've more than doubled in 2025.

Few investors realized this rally was underway until the past few months. That was when things really intensified, with gold miners jumping more than 40% over a recent three-month stretch.

Don't assume you've missed it, though. According to history, this massive rally can continue... And we could see another 44% gain over the next year.

This Gold-Miner Rally Points to More Gains

Make no mistake – the gold-stock rally has been incredible. The overall sector is up more than 100% in 2025. And much of that rally happened in recent months.

Again, gold miners soared more than 40% over a recent three-month period. You can see the run-up in the chart below...

A 40%-plus gain in just three months – for an entire sector – doesn't happen often. Looking at this powerful rally, a lot of investors might assume that the biggest gains are behind us.

I encourage you not to fall for that logic.

Instead, you should always stick with the trend. Rising prices usually rise even higher... So we shouldn't assume a boom will end just because prices have already soared.

Gold miners are proving this again today. We've only seen this sector jump by 40%-plus four other times since 2009. And in each case, gold stocks kept rising. Take a look...

Gold mining is a tough business... So these stocks can be volatile. With all the ups and downs, the sector has returned just 5.7% a year since 2009.

That's far less than the overall stock market's annual gain. But as we've seen, this sector can soar under the right circumstances...

Similar setups led to gains of 13.9% over three months, 23.9% over six months, and a massive 43.5% over a year. Gold stocks were up a year later every time... And even the smallest individual gain was still an impressive 23%.

This tells us that the gold-stock rally isn't over yet. Even if you've missed it so far, there's still time to profit.

The easiest way is through the VanEck Gold Miners Fund (GDX). It holds a basket of gold-mining stocks. And while the fund has more than doubled this year, history says big gains are still ahead.

Good investing,
