That’s just one of a few things to take into consideration as far as economic strength is concerned. In any case, mining stocks and gold stocks have been in focus amid all of these world events. Here are some that have performed-well during recent sessions.
Gold Stocks To Watch Right Now
Assuming you’ve watched the trends of certain gold stock and gold mining ETFs, you’re likely wondering which gold stocks to watch.

Needless to say, full-year 2019 production totaled 359,418 ounces of gold, 11.7 million ounces of silver, 17.1 million pounds of zinc and 16.6 million pounds of lead.
Something to keep in mind is what’s up next for Coeur. The company willissue full-year guidance for 2020 production and costs on February 19. It comesin tandem with the release of the company’s Q4 and 2019 financial results.Though there is still some time before this, it’s good to keep important dateslike this in mind as they can pose as potential catalysts for certain stocks.
