Why Newmont Mining Stock Rebounded on Friday

Newmont Mining stock rose 4.5% on Friday as gold prices rallied nearly 10% to cross $4,500 per ounce following President Trump's 10-day pause on U.S. attacks on Iran's energy facilities. Investors are buying the dip in the world's largest gold miner, with analysts projecting gold could reach $6,100-$6,300 by end of 2026.

Looking for Bargains Amid a Historically Expensive Stock Market? Statistically Speaking, This Sector Is Full of Them!

With the S&P 500 at historically high valuations, the financial sector stands out as a bargain with a P/E ratio of 14 (29th percentile over 10 years). The recent Iran war and potential shift toward rate hikes could benefit banks and insurers. Over 40% of S&P 500 financial stocks have forward P/E ratios below 10, with Wells Fargo and MetLife trading at significant discounts to their five-year averages.

Why the Financials Sector is the S&P 500 Bellwether Right Now

The Financials sector (XLF) has declined 10% YTD but shows signs of stabilization with recent price action improvements. Major banks have held relatively flat month-to-date, regional banks (KRE) are rebounding 6% off March lows, and private credit stocks like KKR and APO are performing well. However, long-term technical indicators remain bearish with a death cross and significant overhead supply, though Q1 earnings starting in mid-April could serve as a catalyst for further movement.
