Gold (COMEX futures)
The price every gold miner sells at. A miner's margin is the gold price less its all-in sustaining cost (AISC), so a 10% move in gold can move a producer's profit by far more than 10% - which is why gold stocks move harder than gold itself.

What drives the gold price
- Real interest rates - gold pays no yield, so falling real yields make it more attractive (US 10-year).
- The US dollar - a weaker dollar usually means a stronger gold price (DXY).
- Central bank buying and ETF flows.
- Fear - geopolitical or financial stress sends money to safety.
