Newmont, Freeport-McMoRan, Barrick Mining, Agnico Eagle Mines, and United States Antimony are the five Gold stocks to watch today, according to MarketBeat's stock screener tool. Gold stocks are shares of publicly traded companies whose primary business involves gold — for example explorers, miners, refiners, and royalty/streaming firms that derive most of their revenue from the metal. Investors use them to gain exposure to gold price movements and potential company growth, but their returns reflect both commodity-price swings and company-specific risks like operational costs, mine life, and geopolitical exposure. These companies had the highest dollar trading volume of any Gold stocks within the last several days.
