Top Mining Stocks To Watch
There are plenty of reasons that mining stocks have been trending in the market. Mining stocks have experienced momentum like no other in the last year. This comes as gold and silver prices skyrocketed during 2020. At one point, gold was able to reach a new record high of above $2,000 per ounce last year. This momentum was very good for mining stock investors. But where do things stand in 2021 now?
Well, the pandemic is still roaring onwards at the moment. Although vaccinations have passed the number of infections, the number of infections are still extremely high. This has allowed metals like gold and silver to hold themselves at key price points. Gold is still above $1,800 per ounce as of February 8th. Silver actually increased in value recently, due to the media covering that Reddit traders boosted the sector.
Although Reddit users deny this, the metal still received a brief uptick in February 2021. Silver even touched above $29 per ounce at one point. But gold and silver are not the only mining assets that you could potentially invest in. There are many other sub sectors when it comes to mining stocks. One of these is lithium stocks. Lithium ion batteries are used in many products, such as electronics and electric vehicles. Notice anything about that last sentence? That’s right, those are two of the most upwards moving sectors of the last year. Many lithium companies have deals with brands such as Tesla. As a result, plenty of lithium related mining stocks have been performing well in the market. Rare earth metal related mining stocks have performed good as well. So now let’s look at the top mining stocks to watch in February 2021.
