VANCOUVER, British Columbia, April 07, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- USANewsGroup.com News Commentary — Gold is trading near $4,700 per ounce and the smart money stopped arguing about whether the rally is real sometime last year.[1] Goldman Sachs and Bank of America have both quietly revised their year-end targets to $6,000 per ounce, and the VanEck Junior Gold Miners ETF (NYSE: GDXJ) has now returned more than 200% over the trailing twelve months as the operating leverage of a ~$4,700 gold price finally gets applied to compressed junior valuations.[2] But the real squeeze is on the supply side.
