Top Mining Stocks To Watch
The market for mining stocks has had quite the bullish run in 2020. We’ve seen the prices of gold and silver for example, skyrocket at many points. But now could mining stocks be in a bit of trouble? It seems like the vaccine news that was released recently had a negative effect on these precious metals. As soon as news came out that a vaccine could be 95% effective at treating COVID-19, precious metals fell in price. One metal that was able to make it out unscathed was lithium and related stocks. But others were not so lucky in terms of the same matter. That was, until news came out that President-elect Joe Biden could be piecing together a stimulus plan.
Stimulus hurts the value of the dollar and the economy obviously. So naturally it will bring the price of various precious metals up. That is part of the reason many precious metals are even at the point they are at right now. For investors that want mining stocks to go up, more stimulus is the hope. While other investors who want a bear market will look towards a vaccine coming out much sooner. On December 7th, gold futures are up after recovering from overnight pressure. Futures are up as there was a change in the U.S. dollar index, as well as weaker crude oil prices. Subsequently some mining stocks have increased as well. So what names will you add to your list of mining stocks? Let’s have a look at four companies showing that positive performance is possible in the mining sector this year.
