Technicals
Barrick Gold recently broke to a seven-year high after crossing above the 2016 high near $23. Similar breakouts are seen in related instruments such as the gold miners ETF (GDX). Further, GOLD is up more than 100% since the bottom in late March. The bottom correlates well with the S&P 500 yet the index has gained roughly 30% since then, in comparison. Precious metals and related stocks typically gain when equities are under pressure and the outperformance during a bullish rally in stocks speaks to the strength and demand for precious metals at this time. Lastly, GOLD was added to the IBD Top 50 list this past week along with Kirkland Gold (KL), and Franco Nevada (FNV) was added last week. The sudden addition of these three stocks adds to the bullish case for this sector.

If you agree there's further upside ahead for GOLD, consider this trade which is a bet that the stock will continue to advance over the next six weeks, or at least not decline very much.
Buy To Open GOLD 05JUN20 24 Puts (GOLD200605P24)
Sell To Open GOLD 05JUN20 27 Puts (GOLD200605P27) for a credit of $1.70 (selling a vertical)
This price was $0.02 less than the mid-point of the option spread when GOLD was trading near $27. Unless the stock rallies quickly from here, you should be able to get close to this amount.
Your commission on this trade will only be $1.30 per spread. Each contract would then yield $168.70 and your broker would charge a $300 maintenance fee, making your investment $131.30 ($300 – $168.70). If GOLD closes at any price above $27 on June 05, both options would expire worthless, and your return on the spread would be 128% (1198% annualized).
