Top Mining Stocks To Watch
The market for
mining stocks
is very volatile at the moment. It seems like there is new things affecting the sector negatively or positively every day. There are a few reasons that mining stocks have been performing so well in the market recently. The pandemic caused all types of assets to tank in value last year. Mining stocks quickly started towards recovery though.
When the economy is not performing well, investors will often put money into mining assets instead. Among the biggest consistent gainers last year were gold stocks and silver stocks. Gold and silver rapidly grew in price, which caused their subsequent stocks to do the same. Lithium stocks also had an amazing year in the market. Some have even called it a defining year for lithium stocks. Lithium-ion batteries are used in electric vehicles and electronics, which are growing markets.
Many other types of assets like steel stocks, copper stocks, rare earth stocks, and more have been trending as well. But where do things stand in 2021? The market is ever-changing, but there are a few key things to keep in mind. For one, unemployment numbers affect many materials. This is because when unemployment falls, it could potentially result in a recovery for the economy.
This could pose an issue for mining stocks. But in recent U.S. Labor Department results, unemployment numbers are still very high at the moment. This is allowed many mining assets like gold and silver to hold at key price points. There are plenty of mining stocks to keep your eye on in the market at the moment. Let’s have a look at four

that are performing well in March 2021.
