Top Mining Stocks To Watch
Throughout history,
mining stocks
have generally moved with the price of materials and metals. To this day, this still seems to be the case. Yet, at the same time, various things impact the price of mining stocks that were not there in the past. For example, take a look at the COVID-19 pandemic. In 2020 the pandemic caused many mining stocks to soar to new record highs in the market. The resulting things of the pandemic are a hurt economy and high unemployment. The U.S. Labor Department continues to release new unemployment reports every week, and even when numbers are falling, they are still very high up there.
The market for mining stocks is very volatile at the moment. Some analysts think that precious metals like gold and silver could potentially reach new highs in 2021. On the other hand, some analysts think this is the end of the metal rally. What we do know is that there are still plenty of mining stocks making gains at the moment. This is boosted by metal prices staying at key price points and the economy still being down. There are many types of
mining stocks to invest in

silver stocks
