IREN, MP Materials, Caterpillar, USA Rare Earth, and Cipher Mining are the five Mining stocks to watch today, according to MarketBeat's stock screener tool. Mining stocks are shares of companies that explore for, extract, and process mineral resources—such as gold, silver, copper or coal—and sell them on global markets. Their performance is closely tied to commodity price swings, production costs and geopolitical developments in mining regions. Investors buy mining stocks to gain exposure to raw-material markets, but should be prepared for higher volatility and cyclical swings. These companies had the highest dollar trading volume of any Mining stocks within the last several days.
