With his fund up 100% this year, veteran manager says gold can go higher

Axel Merk, Chief Investment Officer of the ASA Gold and Precious Metals Fund, says that while gold has been rolling this year, the start of rate cuts along with a weakening dollar and persistent geopolitical risks (including tariffs) make it that there is no end in sight for the precious metals rally to continue. ASA Gold, which invests largely in junior mining companies, is up more than 100 percent year-to-date (compared to roughly 40 percent gains for physical gold ETFs), but still carries a double-digit discount, and Merk explains why that is logical given current market conditions.
