Safe-haven traders are eyeing the vote on a bill slated to run through the House later today, which could fund the U.S. government through January. The shutdown buzz has December-dated gold futures higher ahead of the vote, last seen up 2.3% at $4,213.10. Below, let's check-in on two popular gold names: Newmont Corporation (NYSE:NEM) and Harmony Gold Mining Company Ltd (NYSE:HMY).

NEM was last seen 3.8% higher at $93.44, headed for a sixth-straight daily win and back within a chip-shot of its Oct. 16, record high of $98.58. The equity has enjoyed a long-term uptrend, with added support stemming from the ascending 80-day moving average.

The stock is in recovery mode after falling from its Oct.16 record peak of $22.25, bouncing off the 180-day trendline earlier this month.
