HL - Top Silver Stocks To Watch In July
Looking to invest in silver stocks? Here are 3 to look out for
Silver stocks have had their fair share of ups and downs in 2021. This momentum began with the pandemic starting back in 2020. The pandemic caused silver stock prices to skyrocket, many to new record highs. When the dollar is losing value, investors often will move towards silver stocks as an alternative to these assets.
The pandemic has slowed down in the United States in many other places in the world. Generally, silver stocks will go up when the metal is being used more in the industrial and retail niches. Silver is also used as an asset for people to hold instead of money, similar to gold. Because silver is driven by industrial demand, if the economy recovers around the world then silver could outperform itself. Silver production slowed or entirely stopped in some places back in March. Now, those mining companies behind the production are trying to recover.
It seems that at this volatile time in the market silver stocks can really move either way. There is still a lot of potential for silver stocks despite the volatility. It is important to look at news in the world, sector news, volume, and more when looking to invest. Inflation fears are currently impacting the silver and gold markets right now. This in turn has impacted silver stocks themselves. Nobody knows which direction mining stocks could go at this point. But there are still a lot of companies making multiple percentage gains in a trading day. So with all of that in mind, let’s look at three silver stocks to keep your eye on.
