Will These Mining Stocks Increase In Value?
Mining stocks have had quite an interesting take in the market in the last year. These assets were going to have a seemingly normal year in the market. That was until the pandemic arrived and it changed everything. The economy quickly fell with the value of the dollar in March 2020. This was just about one year ago now. Some of the most common mining stocks to watch include gold and silver stocks.
The price of gold and silver has rallied significantly in the last year. Both of these precious metals reached new record highs in 2020. This momentum brought many new traders to mining stocks that may have not considered them before. But there is also many other types of mining stocks that have been trending in the market. Some companies will focus on mining platinum group metals, rare earth metals, copper, steel, and many other metals.
But one of the most well-performing sections of the mining stock sector happens to be lithium stocks. Lithium stocks have seen a massive increase in price in the last few years. Lithium ion batteries are used in electric vehicles and a variety of electronics. As you know, electric vehicles have increased in market share by a huge margin in the last decade. Companies like Tesla have produced millions of electric vehicles.
The amount produced every year goes up over time. This in turn causes lithium stocks to perform well as those batteries are key components in EVs. There are so many different types of mining stocks to choose from, so how do you know which to choose from? Well, let’s simplify the process and highlight four mining stocks to watch in March 2021.
