Why SSR Mining Stock Popped Today

SSR caught a bid on this gold dip, but here's the disconnect stackers need to understand. Mining stocks move on leverage to spot price - they amplify both directions. Physical gold holders aren't seeing the same discount at the coin shop. Premiums on Eagles and Maples barely budged from yesterday. This tells you retail demand remains strong even as paper gold got hammered. The miners might be a trade for some, but they're not gold. They're equity plays with operational risk, permitting issues, and political exposure. When central banks buy 1,000 tons annually, they're not loading up on mining shares. They want the metal. This dip in spot creates better entry points for physical, not paper proxies.
