The bull riders among the goldbugs were cheering today, as New York spot gold surged $45.10 to reach $2,905.20. (The financial calm anticipated with the return of Donald Trump to the White House, which sent bullion $200 lower in early November, has given way to howling hurricane-force winds generated by his tariffs and threats of tariffs -- the latest poised to strike steel and aluminum with category-five intensity.) The TSX Venture Exchange nevertheless gained 3.66 points to 642.94 while the TSX gold index surged 11.53 points to 417.60.

Most gold miners did well today, with even the large polymetallic producers lumbering northward. Franco-Nevada Corp. (FNV) added $3.14 to $204.99 on 605,000 shares, while Agnico Eagle Mines Ltd. (AEM) added $3.33 to $143.81 on 1.85 million shares. Some of the smaller golds did better, including Galiano Gold Inc. (GAU), which added 10 cents to $1.78 on 1.16 million shares. And so, offer a moment of silence for shareholders of Orosur Mining Inc. (OMI), which shed 2.5 cents with no news, closing at 22 cents on 1.46 million shares.
