KGC - Gold Stocks For Your April 2021 Watch List
Top Gold Stocks To Watch
We all know about the tremendous price increase that gold stocks experienced in 2020. The metal fell short in March when the pandemic was destroying the economy. Then one month later, a huge boom was seen for gold stocks. This resulted in the price of gold reaching new record highs in the market last year. So, where do things stand with gold stocks at the moment? Well, gold stocks have taken a dive as the world has begun to recover. Yet, at the same time, many gold stocks are increasing in market value in 2021.
On April 5 th , gold and silver prices are lower. This is as a result of investors and traders are not wanting to risk as much. This was caused by a positive U.S. economic report that was released last week. In addition to this, the U.S. dollar index paused as a result of recent gains. The price of gold is still holding above $1700 per ounce at the moment. Many analysts believed it would fall further than this, while on the other hand many thought it would not fall below $1,800 per ounce.
In other recent news, President Joe Biden announced a $2 trillion jobs plan to improve the U.S. economy. The plan is to spend this money over 8 years by raising the corporate tax rate. This could adversely have an effect on the gold market. The strongest rally call seems to be from Wells Fargo, who projects the yellow metal could potentially reach $2,200 this year. The company stated, “Gold supplies have flipped from excessive to deficient. Such times in the past have sparked some of gold’s strongest price rallies.” Let’s take a look at four gold stocks that could be moving higher in the market as a result of all of these recent news pieces.
