Gold prices could push higher, once inflation kicks in, says Guardian Vaults business development manager John Feeney, as quoted by Kitco.com. “One of the main drivers for gold demand is a hedge against inflation. Inflation usually comes about after a rapid increase in the money supply. That's exactly what we saw in 2020 — an unprecedented expansion of the money supply globally last year." That could provide a sizable catalyst for companies such as West Mining Corp . (CSE:WEST)(OTC:WESMF), Barrick Gold Corp. (NYSE:GOLD)(TSX:ABX), Newmont Corporation (NYSE:NEM)(TSX:NGT), Kirkland Lake Gold Ltd. (TSX:KL)(NYSE:KL), and B2Gold Corp. (NYSE:BTG).
