Last year was one of the best years ever for gold, as investors flocked to the precious metal over concerns about tariffs and their impact on markets and the economy.</p><p>This year, market uncertainty remains due to geopolitical conflicts, macroeconomic uncertainty and overvalued U.S. stocks. But gold prices have not surged like they did in 2025, mainly because investors have been pouring back into tech stocks over the past two months as valuations had come down. But they are now back up, which could spark another flight to gold.</p><p>But you can undertsand why this money manager is taking a big new stake in Allied Gold as the stock is up 18% year-to-date. In addition, Allied Gold is preparing to produce its first gold from its Kurmuk Project in Ethiopia in the third quarter. However, the company is going to be acquired by Zijin Gold, a Hong Kong-based gold exploration and extraction company. This could also be driving the stock higher, as Zijin has offered CA$44 per share for Allied while it is currently trading at around CA$37 per share on the Toronto Stock Exchange.</p><p>Allied Gold stock trades on the NYSE for $27 per share. </p><h2>Should you buy stock in Allied Gold right now?</h2>
