AUMN - Mining Stocks Continue Volatile Path In 2021 4 To Watch
Could Mining Stocks Pull Ahead In The New Month?
Mining stocks have been in this rather volatile state for quite some time. In 2020, these assets shot up in value along with the prices of gold and silver. Gold reached above $2,000 per ounce, which had never been seen before. But now, the price of gold has settled at around $1,800 per ounce. This price point has been rather consistent for a while now, apart from the first week of January, when gold prices briefly touched above $1,900 per ounce. As you know, the pandemic has the largest effect on the price of precious metals right now. The numbers for the pandemic are only growing larger with no stop in near sight. The vaccine has begun distribution, but it has not had a large impact on the infection numbers.
This has allowed gold to stay at its current key price point. So what other things are impacting the price of mining stocks at the moment? Well, world news is obviously a given. But sector news, company news, and more are all important. We are approaching earnings season in February, and we will see many mining stocks rise and fall. So it will be interesting to see how the market is affected. There are plenty of great mining stocks to watch in 2021. Let’s have a look at a few to keep your eye on.
