Best Gold Stocks To Keep An Eye On – December 28th

Freeport-McMoRan, Hecla Mining, and Newmont are the three Gold stocks to watch today, according to MarketBeat’s stock screener tool. Gold stocks are shares of companies involved in the production, exploration, processing, or financing of gold — including mining firms, explorers, and royalty/streaming companies — that trade on public stock exchanges. Investors buy them to gain exposure to movements in the gold price and potential operational upside, but they also carry company-specific risks (operational, geopolitical, and financial) that can amplify or diverge from bullion’s performance. These companies had the highest dollar trading volume of any Gold stocks within the last several days.
