Could These Gold Stocks Perform Well This Week?
Gold stocks had quite an interesting run throughout 2020. After the pandemic happened, gold stocks rose to heights that have never been seen before. This occurred because of the falling economy and the collapse of the price of the dollar. So as a result, the price of gold reached as high as above $2,000 per ounce. But now it’s 2021 and things have changed for gold stocks. When the first week of January came around, the price of gold went from the normal $1800 per ounce it was around, and nearly reached $1,950 per ounce.
This occurred because of the $900 billion stimulus bill that was passed. This stimulus bill sent checks of $600 to most Americans, and also offered relief to small businesses. Government stimulus devalues the dollar, which in turn helps the price of gold and other precious metals go up. After the first week of January passed, gold stocks then settled back down to the previous price.
$2,000 stimulus checks were denied, and then it hurt the price of gold in turn. But the yellow metal still did not fall below $1,800 per ounce. Some think that vaccinations could cause the economy to recover quicker. But the reality is that it will take a long time to have widespread vaccinations completed, so for now, the price of gold stocks is unaffected. As of January 14th, the price of gold remains around $1,850 per ounce on average. Some think that there is not potential to make a profit with gold stocks at the moment due to the high volatility. This is simply not true, as there are many great gold stocks to watch at the moment that have potential in the market. Let’s take a look at four gold stocks that have been trending in the market throughout recent months.
