Since late 2024, general mining stocks (XME) have significantly outperformed the tech-heavy NASDAQ 100 ETF (QQQ), doubling in value relative to QQQ from December 2024 to January 2026. Historical patterns suggest that the current mining sector upswing, which typically lasts at least 2.5 years, is likely to continue until at least mid-2027.
