Gold once again is showing strength amongst negative market sentiment
SmallCapPower | September 13, 2016: When a central bank raises interest rates, borrowing becomes more expensive. This ultimately decreases cash flows for companies that borrow, and since the value of a corporation is the sum of all cash flows, it also decreases that company’s value. However, as gold is generally a safe haven asset for market uncertainty, our list of gold stocks have benefitted this month, and could see further increases if an announcement is made.
