It appears gold miners are leading the market once again, both up and down, and that may lead to one of the most important comebacks in mining history.
April 15 (King World News) – Otavio Costa: Gold miners are leading the market once again.
Since January 2025, their performance has far outpaced every other sector.
This could mark one of the most important comebacks in mining history.
So where are we in the bull cycle?
I would argue we are still in the awareness phase.
Investors are looking to gain exposure in their portfolios.
Institutions are attending mining conferences.
Generalists are beginning to ask questions about these businesses.
Notice, however:
This phase still has little to no media attention and no signs of a frothy M&A cycle.
That comes later…

Iran War
Gerald Celente: Governments around the world “have vowed in recent weeks to deploy more clean energy” and reduce their dependence on fossil fuels that flow out of a part of the world always in turbulence, The Wall Street Journal reported.
In the short term, those governments also are reactivating coal-fired electric generators that had been decommissioned and extending the permitted life of nuclear energy plants nearing the end of their operating licenses.
There is no guarantee that those promises to “go green” will be fulfilled. After Russia’s 2022 attack on Ukraine, Europe put together a plan to transition to clean fuels within 10 years. However, the continent’s clean energy infrastructure has grown little since then, due in large measure to the region’s weak post-COVID economic and business climate.
However, the price of batteries and solar panels made in China – the world’s chief clean tech provider – has fallen sharply since then.
In the Philippines, infrastructure investment firm Actis is collaborating with solar provider Mterra to build a 14-square-mile solar-and-battery campus that will power 2.4 million households.
After the Iran War erupted, a Philippine government official called Actis to see how fast it could build more such plants. A grid connection permit that normally would take months to receive was approved within days, Actis executive Rahul Agrawal told the WSJ.
Even before the war began, Mterra was on track to provide 13 hours a day of solar and battery power at a cost slightly below that which the Philippines was paying for an equivalent amount of liquefied natural gas – a price that was not possible until recently, Agrawal noted.
“In the last three years, the decline in battery prices has been quite phenomenal,” he said.
TREND FORECAST:
The quest for alternative clean energy will be one of the most rewarding OnTrendpreneur® opportunities of the 21st century.
The Iran War is refocusing nations’ attention on the link between fossil fuel dependence and national economic insecurity. Governments may renew their commitments to shift policies to favor clean energy expansion; however, once again, those good intentions may succumb to other, more immediate priorities.
The more sustained drive toward clean power will come from businesses and households that have to pay the monthly energy bills. Solar panels and home batteries will be seen as a form of “energy insurance” against volatile costs as well as against power outages.
