These mining stocks just released their second quarter results; which will go up?
There are many types of
mining stocks
to watch in the market. When people think of mining stocks, often they will think of traditional ones like gold and silver. Gold stocks and silver stocks offer a way to invest in metals without holding the assets physically. These stocks have seen a lot of positive performance in the last year and a half. For example, gold and silver both reached new record prices in 2020 as a result of the pandemic.
But
gold
and silver stocks are not the only mining sectors that are performing well. Another high performing mining sector is that of
lithium stocks
. Lithium stocks perform well in the market due to the increased demand for lithium-ion batteries. Copper stocks are performing well too as the demand for the metal goes up. Hundreds of pounds of copper are used in an electric vehicle, so often this sector will go up with the EV sector.
Other mining sectors include uranium, iron ore, coal, and lead among others. It can often be difficult to know which mining sector is the best to invest in. That is why taking a look at the latest news can be very useful. Company news shows what a mining stock is up to, and sector news shows broader things that may impact a company. Let’s now look at three mining stocks that could potentially make your watchlist in 2021.
