Gold May Be Best Hedge Against Politicians As Miners Forge Ahead

CORAL SPRINGS, Florida, September 29, 2016 /PRNewswire/ --

Jeff Currie, head of commodities research at Goldman Sachs, attributes part of the 20 percent rally in gold this year to uncertainty over the coming U.S. election.  "We have a lot of political risk in the market right now, so gold has a strategic purpose," said Currie, explaining that investors often gravitate toward hard assets in times of uncertainty.  Recent developments in the sector:  GOLDCORP INC.
