PZG - Top Mining Stocks To Buy Or Sell In January?

These Mining Stocks Are Experiencing Positive Momentum

Nobody truly knew what mining stocks would become at the start of 2020. The pandemic caused mining stocks to rally like never before last year. The rise of mining stocks was attributed to the rise in price of metals such as gold and silver. For example, the price of gold even reached above $2000 at one point last year. This is because when the economy is hurt, many investors turn to metal investments as a way to turn a profit. So what is affecting these mining stocks at the moment? Well the $900 billion stimulus bill that was recently passed is helping mining stocks because stimulus is bad for the price of the dollar. In addition to this, rising COVID cases are helping mining stocks increase in price too.

Sure, there is a vaccine being distributed all over the world at the moment, but that will not be effective on a large scale for a long time. That is partially why mining stocks began to rally in the first week of 2021. But now we have entered the second week of 2021, so what is happening now? Well, mining stocks have fallen back down with the stabilization of the price of gold and silver. But some analysts think these precious metals could push much higher in price. The only thing that will be able to tell what will happen is time. The pandemic coming to a close could be a bad thing for mining stocks although a good thing for the world.
