Top Mining Stocks To Follow Today - April 28th

Key Points

• IREN, Caterpillar (CAT), and Newmont (NEM) are the three mining stocks MarketBeat’s screener flags as ones to watch today, each posting the highest recent dollar trading volume among mining names.
• IREN (formerly Iris Energy) operates bitcoin-mining data centers from Sydney, making it a crypto-mining play rather than a traditional commodity miner like CAT or NEM.
• MarketBeat cautions that mining stocks are typically sensitive to commodity prices and face operational, environmental, regulatory, and geopolitical risks, which can produce cyclical and often higher volatility versus the broader market.

IREN, Caterpillar, and Newmont are the three Mining stocks to watch today, according to MarketBeat's stock screener tool. Mining stocks are shares of companies that explore for, extract, process, and sell mined commodities such as gold, copper, coal, and other metals and minerals. For investors, these stocks are typically sensitive to commodity prices and carry company-specific and industry risks (operational, environmental, regulatory and geopolitical), often producing cyclical returns that can be more volatile than the broader market. These companies had the highest dollar trading volume of any Mining stocks within the last several days.
