Will These Mining Stocks Rise Up In February?
There have been so many mining stocks increasing in price throughout the stock market. This has occurred on a much larger scale in the last year. This has to do with resource prices going up due to scarcity during the pandemic. Often investors will look at gold and silver as better investments than the dollar during economic crisis’s. So it is no surprise that the events that have taken place in the world recently have resulted in these types of stocks increasing in price. Many gold and silver stocks peaked in mid 2020 when both resources reached new record highs in the market. Now gold prices are at about $1800 per ounce and silver prices are at $27 per ounce on average. These prices are still much higher than their pre pandemic counterparts.
But gold and silver stocks are not the only type of mining stocks that are performing well in the market. Lithium stocks have also seen high performance in the last year and even longer as well. Lithium is used to create lithium ion batteries. These batteries are used in a ton of technology products. More notable, lithium ion batteries are being used in electric cars for companies like Tesla Inc. As you know, Tesla stock has skyrocketed in the last few years. As electric cars grow in popularity, so do the lithium companies providing the minerals to be used in their batteries. Some lithium stocks have doubled or even tripled in stock price in the last year. Another high performing sector in the market is rare earth mining stocks. With so much to choose from it can get confusing when investing in mining stocks. So let’s take a look at four mining stocks that have shown high performance and have market potential.
