Best Gold Stocks To Research – April 30th

Newmont, Freeport-McMoRan, Agnico Eagle Mines, Barrick Mining, and AngloGold Ashanti are the five Gold stocks to watch today, according to MarketBeat’s stock screener tool. Gold stocks are shares of companies whose primary business is exploring for, mining, producing, refining, or selling gold (including some service and equipment providers to the gold industry). Investors use them to gain exposure to changes in the price of gold and potential company-level income, but they also carry firm-specific risks—such as mine costs, production disruptions and geopolitical/regulatory factors—that can make their share prices diverge from the metal’s spot price. These companies had the highest dollar trading volume of any Gold stocks within the last several days.
