Gold rallied about 65% higher in 2025, its strongest showing in years. Now, after pulling back to about $4,800, it’s creating another opportunity. In fact, according to analysts at UBS, the metal could rally to $6,200 by mid-year with geopolitical tensions, two potential interest rate cuts by the Federal Reserve by September, further and central bank buying. 

In addition, as noted by GoldSilver.com, “After hitting highs above $5,000 earlier this year, gold has corrected to around $4,400. UBS analysts see this as consistent with a pattern that preceded last year’s historic 65% surge. Sustained consolidation has historically preceded significant upward moves in gold. The structural drivers, in UBS’s view, remain intact.”

One way to trade further upside in gold is by using the VanEck Gold Miners ETF (GDX).

Not only can you gain access to some of the biggest gold stocks in the world, but you can also do so at less cost.  With an expense ratio of 0.51%, the ETF holds positions in Newmont Corp., Barrick Gold, Franco-Nevada, Agnico Eagle Mines, Gold Fields, and Wheaton Precious Metals, to name a few.

The ETF also pays an annual dividend.  In December 2025, it paid a dividend of just over 63 cents a share. In December 2024, it paid a dividend of just over 40 cents per share. In December 2023, it paid a dividend of just over 50 cents per share.

Even better, shares of mining stocks often outperform the price of gold. That’s because higher gold prices can result in increased profit margins and free cash flow for gold miners.  In addition, top gold miners often have limited exposure to riskier mining projects.
