These Silver Stocks Have Potential
The market for silver stocks has been quite an interesting one to watch recently. The pandemic caused silver assets to skyrocket in price. The percentage gains for many silver assets were higher than gold stocks. This brought a lot of new investors to the metal that may have overlooked it before. One other recent event also brought a lot of new people to silver investing.
You have certainly heard of the GameStop situation where Reddit traders boosted the price of the stock. Last month, the same thing happened to silver prices due to retail traders, according to the mainstream media. But Reddit traders quickly stated that it was not their doing. This caused the price of the metal to pull back. What this did do, was attracting a lot of new eyes and investors to silver-related assets. The price of silver has been able to remain at a key price point right now.
So what else is affecting mining stocks? Jobless reports often affect the price of silver and gold. Recently unemployment numbers have remained very high. Despite drastically falling COVID case numbers, it is not changing the fact that many are still unemployed. This can help the price of silver perform well. It will be interesting to see the effect this will have on silver in the future.
These assets are still rather volatile at the moment. Yet still, there are many great silver stocks to watch at the moment. Let’s take a look at four silver stocks that have seen momentum building in the last year. These silver stocks show that it is still possible for metals to be increasing in price at the moment.
