The price of gold per ounce has surpassed the $3,700 USD<\/strong> mark. Over the past month, it has risen by more than 11%<\/strong>, over the past year by 43%<\/strong>, and over the past five years by nearly 90%<\/strong>. Quite a surge, isn\u2019t it? Naturally, the shares of gold-related companies have also followed this upward trend.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What Drives the Price of Gold Higher?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The rising trend in gold prices is driven by several factors:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. High inflation<\/strong> \u2014 gold is traditionally seen as a hedge against inflation. Since gold supply is relatively fixed, its value holds steady, making it a reliable store of wealth.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n

      \n
    1. Weakening US dollar<\/strong> \u2014 because gold is priced in USD, a weaker dollar makes it cheaper for international buyers, increasing demand and pushing the price up.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    2. Safe-haven demand<\/strong> \u2014 geopolitical tensions, fears of recession, and general uncertainty in global markets fuel gold purchases by investors looking to protect their capital.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

      In addition to physical gold, investors have an alternative: gold mining companies<\/strong>. One such company is the focus of this article.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Agnico Eagle Mines 2024 Financial Highlights<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

      Company Overview<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

      Agnico Eagle Mines Limited<\/strong> is a Canadian gold producer founded in 1957. Since 1983, it has paid dividends to shareholders. Today, it operates 10 mines across 4 countries<\/strong>, producing not only gold but also silver, zinc, and copper.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      The company expects its total cash cost per ounce of gold in 2025<\/strong> to be $1,250\u20131,300 USD<\/strong> (compared to $1,239 in 2024<\/strong>). With gold at $3,720 USD\/oz<\/strong> at the time of writing, the margins look highly favorable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      AEM is part of my portfolio. Its ticker is TSX:AEM<\/strong> (the \u201cTSX\u201d means the shares are traded on the Toronto Stock Exchange, but the company is also listed on the NYSE). At the moment, I am very satisfied with my investment in AEM<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      The company operates in politically stable mining-friendly jurisdictions: Canada, Europe, Latin America, and the US<\/strong>. This significantly reduces risk. It also pays dividends. Over the last 10 years, AEM stock has risen by 596%<\/strong>, and with dividend reinvestment the return would be almost 735%<\/strong>. That means a $10,000 investment 10 years ago would now be worth nearly $70,000\u201383,500<\/strong>. Over the past year alone, shares are up 86%<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
