U.S. election results uncertainty is benefiting the junior gold stocks on our list more than others in the space
SmallCapPower | November 3, 2016: From the FBI’s recent announcement of the reopening of a case against Hillary Clinton, and Trump being neck and neck and at time a head of Clinton in the early voting, the market is reacting and it is pushing up the gold price. Some are predicting gold heading to US$1400-$1500 an ounce if Trump emerges victorious on November 8th, with a slight price decline possible following a Clinton victory. With some investors jumping back into the gold market in recent days, the junior gold stocks on our list could continue to benefit from the uncertainty leading up to election.
