Promising Gold Stocks To Watch Now - March 13th

Key Points

• MarketBeat's screener flags Newmont (NEM), Freeport‑McMoRan (FCX) and Barrick (B) as the gold stocks to watch, selected for having the highest dollar trading volume among Gold stocks in recent days.
• Gold stocks give investors leveraged exposure to the price of gold—often with greater volatility than owning the metal—but carry company‑ and jurisdiction‑specific risks such as operational, regulatory and financing risks.
• Company highlights: Newmont is a global producer with operations across the Americas, Africa, Asia and Australia; Freeport owns major copper and gold assets including Grasberg; and Barrick is a sector‑leading producer that co‑operates the Nevada Gold Mines joint venture with Newmont.

Newmont, Freeport-McMoRan, and Barrick Mining are the three Gold stocks to watch today, according to MarketBeat's stock screener tool. Gold stocks are shares of publicly traded companies whose primary business is finding, mining, refining or financing gold — including producers, explorers and firms that hold royalty or streaming interests in mines. For investors they provide exposure to the price of gold (often with higher volatility than owning the metal itself) while also carrying company- and jurisdiction-specific risks such as operational, regulatory and financing risks. These companies had the highest dollar trading volume of any Gold stocks within the last several days.
