Gold and silver are hitting record levels today, but it's a different story for Canadian gold mining stocks—they're barely budging. The reason? Investors are jittery about a potential sharp correction coming Tuesday. That fear is keeping money on the sidelines even as bullion prices soar. Here's the interesting part: this nervous positioning could actually set up an even more explosive rally once that worry passes. If the anticipated sell-off doesn't materialize or gets absorbed quickly, you could see precious metals prices jump significantly. Silver in particular might have more room to run—some traders are eyeing the $100 per ounce level as within reach. The psychological disconnect between the metals themselves and the mining equities suggests real opportunity once sentiment shifts. We'll get clarity soon enough.
