These Mining Stocks Are Showing High Performance
When it comes to
mining stocks
, the last year was unexpected to say the least. Things were going normally for these types of assets for a while before the pandemic happened. That was until the pandemic started and destroyed the economy. One month after the stock market tanked, mining stocks started to take off in value.
This resulted in metals like gold and silver reaching new record highs. There are many types of mining stocks that are trending in the market. The most commonly traded assets in this sector are
gold stocks
and
silver stocks
. But there are many other types of mining stocks that have been high performing in the market recently.
One example of this is
lithium stocks
, which have been huge market gainers. This is as a result of the growing electric vehicle market that uses lithium ion batteries. Another market impacted by electric vehicles are copper stocks. Copper stocks have seen growth due to the increased usage in EVs. There are also rare earth mining stocks, steel stocks, and many other types. I’m not sure if many would refer to mining stocks as reopening stocks at the moment.
Considering these assets already had a massive uptick throughout 2020 they do not reach that category. In 2021, there are still many mining stocks increasing in value in the market. Prices for precious metals like gold and silver have pulled back, but other markets are still going up. With that being said, there are plenty of gold and silver related
mining stocks
that are starting to go back up in price.
