How Has The Surge In Gold Prices Affected Barrick Gold Stock?

Barrick Gold stock (NYSE: GOLD) has increased almost 8% in the last one month and has outperformed the S&P 500 which was up 5.5%. If you look at the change over the last one week and ten days, the stock has declined on both occasions (-2.2% and -3.2%, respectively). The rise in GOLD stock over the last one month period was driven by the strengthening of gold prices. Global gold price per ounce has gone up from $1,750 to over $1,796, up 2.6% in one month. The increase in price was mainly as a result of weakness in the dollar index. Additionally, a weak GDP growth number reported for Q3 2021, which was lower than expectation, is likely to weigh on the dollar further, thus providing strength to precious metals.
