Everything’s Down But Treasuries and Gold Stocks?

By Tim on 10/19/2012 in Commodities, Stocks

Now, here’s something you don’t see every day…

In the biggest one-day stock market sell-off in some time (I stopped keeping track of Dow 200+ up/down days some time ago, but, after today’s market action that may soon resume) that is occurring on the 25-year anniversary of the 1987 crash, just about every risk asset is going down in price except for gold stocks. Not the metal, the shares. Very unusual, particularly given the steep decline in the price of gold and silver.

And, it’s not just one company in the MarketVectors Gold Miner ETF (GDX) above that is pushing gold equities higher - gains are broad-based led by AngloGold Ashanti (AU) that is up about two percent.

I was surprised to see that too but I wouldn’t make too much of it unless theres a real divergence over a longer period of time.

U.S. stocks ended the week a little higher and so did gold stocks.
