Caterpillar, Newmont, and IREN are the three Mining stocks to watch today, according to MarketBeat's stock screener tool. Mining stocks are shares of publicly traded companies that explore for, develop, and extract natural resources such as gold, silver, copper, coal and other minerals. Their returns are highly sensitive to commodity prices and to operational, geological and geopolitical risks, making them generally more volatile than the broader market and ranging in risk from speculative junior explorers to large, diversified producers. These companies had the highest dollar trading volume of any Mining stocks within the last several days.
