X - Top Mining Stocks To Watch Before April
Will These Mining Stocks Rise Up?
Mining stocks have been a hot commodity in the market recently. In 2020, these assets drastically grew in size. Let’s first talk about gold stocks and silver stocks. As the more “mainstream” mining stocks, a lot of attention was put on to them. Gold price skyrocketed a few months after the pandemic started. It caused gold prices to reach new all time highs in the market. As a result, gold stocks followed suit.
This brought many new eyes to the precious metal. The reason for the uptick was the increased amount of investors in gold instead of the dollar. Gold tends to perform well when the economy is doing bad. For similar reasons, silver stocks performed well too. But silver stocks had another interesting thing happen to them. Reddit retail traders caused a huge one day uptick for silver that quickly fell short.
But the retail traders brought a lot of new attention to silver. Steel stocks have also been performing well in the market. This is due to rising prices and world news. No matter what type of mining stocks you are looking for there are plenty of assets that are potential options. In 2021, these assets are still moving in the market.
