Why are these gold miners at new 52-week highs today?

We don't have to look too far to see why these ASX gold stocks are cracking new 52-week highs this Monday.

This morning, you might have caught my Fool colleague James' article '5 things to watch on the ASX 200 on Monday'. In this piece, we covered how ASX gold stocks could have a strong start to the week, thanks to the precious metal's new record high of US$2,730 an ounce over the weekend.

Well, today, gold has climbed even higher. According to CNBC, futures for the yellow metal have hit a new high of US$2,744.30 an ounce. Not bad, considering gold was asking less than US$2,000 an ounce this time last year.

A potent combination of geopolitical tensions, lingering inflationary concerns, and falling global interest rates seems to be working wonders for gold. Even in the 21st century, gold remains a popular 'safe-haven' investment, and investors have been flocking to the precious metal as a result. As well as to the ASX gold stocks that own and mine it, of course.

Gold miners are, in effect, leveraged bets on the price of gold itself. Since these miners' costs are relatively fixed, every 1% that the gold price rises can lead to a 2% or even 3% lift in these companies' profits.

As such, it's no surprise to see so many ASX gold stocks hit new 52-week highs this Monday. Let's see what happens over the rest of the week.
