SAND - Top Mining Stocks To Watch Next Week
Are These Mining Stocks On Your 2021 Watch List?
Mining stocks in 2021 have an interesting market history so far. When the first week of 2021 arrived, metal assets received quite an uptick. There is a couple reasons that this occurred. The first of which, is the realization that COVID is not going away soon despite the fact that a vaccine is being distributed. The $900 billion stimulus bill also was a factor in the price of gold stocks increasing in value the first week of 2021. Stimulus devalues the dollar which in turn had a positive effect on the price of gold. So then why did precious metal prices pull back in the second week of January?
Well, when we say pull back, it is more like back to where they were December 31 st . Because the price of gold is still above $1,850 per ounce. There are a few steps that you may want to take before investing in mining stocks. The first of which is keeping up with all of the news in the sector, as well as world news. Looking at the volume of a mining stock could indicate if it is going to move up or down soon as well. Essentially, do not just blindly invest in mining stocks. Some think that there is no potential for mining stocks in the market. But this is simply not true, as many investors are making profit with mining stocks. So which are the top mining stocks to watch ?
