Are these gold stocks going to perform well this month?
In the last year and a half, gold stocks have been very interesting to watch in the market. It all started when the pandemic caused gold stocks to increase significantly. Production at many gold mines had to be slowed or stopped due to COVID-19. This caused a shortage which brought gold prices up. At the same time, the economy was crashing so people turned to physical gold instead of the dollar.
Now we are in 2021, and things are quite different in the market. Many places including the United States have started to recover from the pandemic. In most places, everything is open which is helping the economy. At the same time, many other countries are still struggling with solving the pandemic. At the same time, the Delta variant of the virus has invoked fears into the public that things may close down again.
All of this stuff places gold stocks in quite a volatile position. For those already invested in gold though, this is very well known. Things can get even more volatile when investing in gold penny stocks, because of their low cost. Some investors think that the hype for gold stocks is over since the price of the yellow metal isn’t near its highs from last year. This is far from true though, as many gold stocks are increasing in market value in 2021. So let’s take a look at three gold stocks to watch as we enter August.
