Franco-Nevada, Newmont, Freeport-McMoRan, First Majestic Silver, and Barrick Mining 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 is related to gold — including miners, explorers, refiners, and royalty/streaming firms — that give investors exposure to the gold market through corporate equity. Investors buy gold stocks to gain leveraged exposure to changes in the gold price, but they also carry company- and country-specific risks (operational, political and management) that can make them more volatile than the metal itself. These companies had the highest dollar trading volume of any Gold stocks within the last several days.
