Caterpillar, IREN, Freeport-McMoRan, Centrus Energy, and TeraWulf are the five Mining stocks to watch today, according to MarketBeat's stock screener tool. Mining stocks are shares of publicly traded companies involved in exploring for, developing, and extracting natural resources and minerals (for example, gold, copper, coal, and lithium). Investors buy them to gain exposure to commodity prices and potential upside from discoveries or production growth, but they carry risks such as volatile commodity markets, operational and geopolitical challenges, and capital-intensive long timelines. These companies had the highest dollar trading volume of any Mining stocks within the last several days.
