Will These Mining Stocks Keep Pulling Ahead?
So many mining stocks experienced large upticks in the last year. The pandemic created a wonderful situation for investors of mining stocks. In the third week of January, the price of gold is at $1870, slowly pulling towards back above $1900 per ounce. In the first week of January, that $1900 per ounce price was achieved. Now the Presidential Inauguration has happened and it seems to have made metal prices slightly go up. There are actually plenty of things that are impacting the price of mining stocks at the moment. The main thing allowing precious metal prices to hold on is the COVID pandemic that is still growing fast in numbers every single day. Sure, there is a vaccine being distributed but it is not being distributed fast enough for the virus to go away yet.
Recently President Joe Biden released a $1.9 trillion economic recovery plan. This type of plan could potentially bring the price of the dollar down temporarily. In turn this would help mining stocks perform better. There are plenty of things to look for when investing in mining stocks. The first of which is world news, such as election and pandemic related things at the moment. Sector advancement is also important, such as precious metal prices. Third could be volume, which often indicates the direction in which a mining stock is moving. Some think that mining stocks do not have potential due to the volatility at the moment. But this is incorrect, as there are plenty of mining stocks that are trending in the market right now. As we continue through the third week of January, let’s have a look at four mining stocks that are performing well at the moment.
