The gold price is trading at around $US1,188 per ounce, compared with $US1,150 in March 2015. UBS is bullish about most Australian-listed gold producers, and its top picks include Evolution Mining and Alacer Gold. However, UBS has a "neutral" recommendation on Independence Group and a "sell" rating on Newcrest Mining. Meanwhile, Reuters notes that there has been an upturn in mergers and acquisitions in the gold sector in 2015.
