"The spot gold price could hit $5,000 this year, and you'll surely be disappointed if you missed out on the opportunity. However, you might not want to bother with shipping, storing, and insuring gold bars or coins. Furthermore, certain types of investment accounts don't directly allow gold bullion investments. That's fine since there's a near-perfect workaround with the Sprott Gold Miners ETF. There's no need to hold physical gold, and many investment accounts will allow you to buy and sell an ETF such as SGDM."
"Gold is up 50% year to date, and the spot price of gold is approaching $4,000. The yellow metal has notched new all-time highs multiple times in 2025, and all of a sudden, financial traders on social media are buzzing about gold. It's difficult to pinpoint just one reason why the gold price keeps rising. The most evident contributing factor is the comparative decline in the value of the U.S. dollar, against which we're measuring the gold price."
Gold rallied strongly in 2025, with spot prices up roughly 50% year-to-date and approaching $4,000 per ounce. Capital has flowed rapidly into gold-focused ETFs as bullion climbs to new highs. The Sprott Gold Miners ETF (SGDM) offers investors exposure to mining equities that have more than doubled while spot gold rose, providing leveraged upside relative to bullion. ETFs eliminate the need for shipping, storage, and insurance of physical gold and enable investment through accounts that cannot hold bullion. Contributing factors to higher gold prices include a weaker U.S. dollar and heightened economic and geopolitical uncertainty. Investors must understand ETF risks before investing.
