Heinz, not to be contrary, but I don't think that makes sense. If that was the main factor driving gold stocks then some stocks should be moving up a lot now while others stand still. Instead what I see is most of the big gold miners moving up 20-30%. For example most of Barrick's production is pre-sold for years at $300/oz or more, so a move up to $270 will not impact their bottom line, yet their stock went up about 20% today.

I think the explanation is a combination of (a) safe-haven buying, (b) the perception of a turnaround in the long-term trend for gold prices, and (c) jumping on the sector-rotation bandwagon.
