Gold stocks are on the rise Monday as investors seek a new safe haven as bank stocks take a beating.

This is the continued effect of the Silicon Valley Bank (NASDAQ:SIVB) failure. The news is dropping bank stocks as investors flee the companies amid concerns of a bank crash and dwindling investments.

Given the number of investors pulling out of bank stocks, it makes sense they would seek another shelter for their funds. This has them targeting gold stocks. That falls in line with the idea that gold, as well as other precious metals, are a safe space in times of economic turmoil.

Speaking of the economy, today’s rally of bank stocks also comes after months of uncertainty. Both investors and consumers have been worrying about a recession as inflation continues to rise and the Federal Reserve increases interest rates. This has also resulted in several companies laying off employees.

Let’s take a look at how gold stocks are moving today below
