The rise in gold prices is due in part to global recession fears and inflationary pressures. Gold has long been thought to be a safe haven in uncertain economic times. In recent weeks, a spike in gold prices has been directly proportional to falling U.S. Dollar Index prices.
Calibre’s Share Prices are Tracking Gold Prices.
Not surprisingly, Calibre Mining Corp’s share prices have also risen on nearly the same trajectory from a low of $0.38 cents per share to today’s price of $1.24 – an increase of 226%. This represents a very strong increase from November’s lows, and just shy of the recent high of $1.38 per share established on March 24, 2022.
If Calibre’s stock performance continues its upward trajectory, and if gold prices continue to move past $2,000, then there could be continued growth in the share prices of Calibre stock.
