Best Mining Stock List
In the last year
mining stocks
have had phenomenal performance. Most types of mining assets have brought gains to investors. Gold and silver for example, saw exponential growth throughout 2020. But both gold stocks and silver stocks have pulled back in 2021. This comes as prices for the metals have pulled back as well. This is happening for a couple reasons. First of all, COVID cases are rapidly declining in the United States as vaccines are distributed in every state. As a result, reopening is becoming the new normal in every state. This includes Texas which just fully opened the state with no restrictions, despite criticism from many including President Biden.
Gold stocks
and
silver stocks
usually go up in value when the economy is hurt and the dollar is slipping.
So when it looks like the economy could be pushing towards recovery faster, it can hurt the price of these metal assets. But even during a time like this, there are plenty of mining stocks that are performing well in the market. So how do you know which mining stocks are the best to watch? Well, there are a few things to look out for when investing. The first of which is the current volume of a stock. For example, if a stock is moving up but its volume is lower, it could potentially suggest it will go back down. Staying up to date with the latest news in the sector also is very essential when investing in the market. Things like financial results, mine updates, sector news, world news, and more all affect the direct these assets move. Now let’s look at some
mining stocks to watch
before March 2021 comes to an end.
