Mining Stocks To Watch Now – January 4th

Caterpillar, IREN, and Newmont are the three Mining stocks to watch today, according to MarketBeat’s stock screener tool. Mining stocks are shares in companies that explore for, develop, or extract mineral resources—such as gold, silver, copper, coal, or rare earths—and trade on public exchanges. Their prices are closely tied to commodity prices, production results and operating costs, making them often more volatile than the broader market. Investors use them to gain exposure to commodity cycles, potential leveraged upside to metal prices, and sometimes dividend income from established producers. These companies had the highest dollar trading volume of any Mining stocks within the last several days.
