With solid earnings, cooling inflation, the potential for interest rate cuts, and hopes for a truce between the U.S. and China, there’s not much stopping upside potential.

Gold Fields (NYSE: GFI): Analysts at Citi just initiated a buy rating on Gold Fields, with a price target of $50 a share. While the stock exploded higher to rate, the firm believes it could race even higher. “It accounts for only 2% of global gold production and is well placed to benefit from the scarcity of large listed gold miners in rising gold price environment,” they said, as quoted by CNBC. “With production relatively balanced across four continents (Australia, Africa, and Americas), the risk from adverse jurisdictional/geopolitical events is diversified.”
