Close up stack of gold bars, financial wealth concepts and businessGold is in a "new bullish phase" after prices notched another record high, said asset management firm Sprott Asset Management, echoing other analysts who have predicted that the bullion will continue to scale new heights. Spot gold is currently trading at $2,729.14 per ounce, while gold futures are at $2,741.20. "Rising U.S. debt-to-GDP ratios have historically led to higher gold prices due to concerns over the sustainability of debt, currency devaluation and debt monetization," Wong continued. As debt increases, governments might resort to printing money to address deficits, which can devalue the currency, Wong explained. This erosion of trust in fiat currency enhances gold's appeal as a reliable store of value.

☆ Uranium is having a 'renaissance.' What to know about it, and how to play it

But despite the strong outlook for the commodity price, stocks and funds related to the commodity have not risen in lock step. The Sprott Uranium Miners ETF (URNM) and Sprott Physical Uranium Trust (SRUFF) are down about 7% and 4% so far this year, underperforming the broad S & P 500 , which has gained 6.5% . He said the Sprott Physical Uranium Trust is a smart play because it has the best risk-to-reward ratio in his eyes and has the benefit of holding actual uranium as opposed to just mining stocks. The company also manages the Sprott Uranium Miners ETF, which Huhn said has a larger emphasis on the mining stocks than the commodity price. Zuri-Invest's option is unique because it has a shorter settlement time and can be redeemed for either money or physical uranium, Huhn said.

Subsidies from the U.S. government and investments from companies including General Motors in battery technology should benefit the mining companies, according to John Ciampaglia, CEO of Sprott Asset Management. "We talk to people all around the world, and there's a very consistent and global theme that's building around energy transition. Sprott's funds, including the Sprott Energy Transition Materials ETF (SETM) , are focused on mining stocks. Other funds on the market take a broader approach by bundling together mining stocks and battery manufacturers or technology companies, including Global X's Lithium and Battery Tech ETF (LIT) . The Amplify Lithium and Battery Technology ETF (BATT) goes even farther, incorporating electric vehicle stocks such as Tesla in its portfolio.
