These Gold Stocks Are Pulling Ahead In June
In the last month, gold stocks have remained at a steady price point. This is because of price of gold has been close to $1,900 per ounce, but has not broken through it yet. Just because gold prices are stagnant or lowing, does not mean that all gold stocks are going to perform negatively. In fact, there are plenty of gold stocks that perform well in this environment.
There are so many things that can impact the price of gold stocks. World news has a huge effect on the yellow metal. This was proven in the last year and a half with the COVID-19 pandemic. Sector news is also very important to note when investing. This can mean things like shortages, demand, inflation, and more. Company specific news often has a large effect on gold companies, especially during times where the price of the metal itself is not moving very much.
Gold stocks are not the only type of mining stocks that are performing well in the market. Many investors turn to silver stocks as they often follow a similar pattern as gold and are less expensive. Take this with a grain of salt though, as silver does have many things that impact it by itself. Some investors believe that the hype is over for gold, or that it is a bad time to invest in the sector. But there are still many gold stocks that are increasing in value at the moment, or have potential. The world is in a volatile state, yet many gold stocks are increasing in price. So let’s look at three that are performing well in June 2021.
Top Gold Stocks To Watch

Our operations generated $89.5 million in mine-site free cash flow and we ended the quarter with approximately $1.5 billion in available liquidity.

The President and CEO Tom Palmer said, “With the acquisition of GT Gold and the Tatogga project in the highly sought-after Golden Triangle district of British Columbia, Canada, Newmont continues to strengthen our world-class portfolio.”
The acquisition includes the Tatogga project which has the potential to contribute future significant gold and copper annual production. There are other exploration opportunities beyond the area within the land package as well. This Tatogga project adds to Newmont’s existing interest in the Golden Triangle through its 50% ownership in the Galore Creek project.
The Future of Gold Stocks
Nobody knows what direction gold stocks could move in right now. But gold prices remain stable as economic recovery is taking place. Unemployment numbers are falling which is contributing heavily to gold’s price movement. Another factor impacting the metal is increased retail sales as reopening continues onwards throughout 2021. Industrial use of gold for different products and machinery is also increasing. So which gold companies will make your watchlist?
