3 Top Gold Stories of Q1 2016

The first quarter of 2016 is nearly over, and overall it’s been a good one for gold.
At close of day March 24, the yellow metal was just over $1,215 per ounce, up nearly 15 percent year-to-date. That positive performance can be attributed to a slew of factors, including a lower US dollar, turmoil in the wider financial markets and increased investor buying. And while the metal is ending Q1 lower than it was earlier in the year, many market watchers still believe the metal’s good fortune will continue.
The Investing News Network’s most popular gold stories for Q1 clearly illustrate that optimism. The three top gold articles on the site during that period all focus on gold’s upward momentum, and what investors can do to take advantage of it. Read on for a brief summary of those articles, and consider clicking through to read these blockbuster posts.
