EXK - 3 Hot Silver Stocks To Watch Before September
Which silver stocks are performing well this month?
There are plenty of reasons that silver stocks are trending in the market at the moment. Last year, silver stocks received an unexpected boost after the pandemic started. The continuing pandemic is the primary thing that is driving the price of this metal right now. Things started looking worse for mining stocks when cases of COVID-19 were dropping because of the vaccines. Now with the Delta variant, nobody knows what is going to happen in the U.S.
This has created a level of volatility that has brought some investors back to silver stocks. If more stimulus is issued or the stock market crashes, it is likely that mining stocks will actually benefit from it. Silver stocks also received a boost after mainstream media reported that Reddit traders were boosting the metal upwards in price at the start of 2021. This brought a lot more attention to silver stocks, and thus more investors.
So why invest in silver stocks? Silver is an asset people can hold just like gold, rather than money. When the metal is being used by industrial companies more, the metal tends to perform better. Fears of inflation are also impacting this sector right now, and nobody knows what will end up happening regarding that. So clearly, there is a lot to think about if you are potentially going to invest in silver stocks. Some create an investment plan to decide which tickers they are going to purchase. With all of this in mind, let’s look at three silver stocks to watch right now.
