NGD - 3 Hot Gold Stocks To Watch Before Next Week
These gold stocks have a lot of potential in the market
You’ve seen how news can impact the price of gold stocks in the past. This was especially relevant last year, which was a year of more news than ever. The pandemic caused mining resources to boost to levels never seen before. The price of gold went up above $2,000 which was a record high for the yellow metal.
But where do things stand for gold stocks in 2021? The price of gold has stayed relatively the same over the last few months. But often, the metal sees an uptick or goes down in the market.

The reason news is important, is because this is the primary way to get information that may directly impact the direction in which gold stocks are moving. But big media news is not the only type of news that impacts the prices of mining stocks. News related to companies is important as well.
