IREN, Caterpillar, TeraWulf, Freeport-McMoRan, and Newmont are the five Mining stocks to watch today, according to MarketBeat's stock screener tool. Mining stocks are shares of companies that explore for, develop, and produce mined commodities such as gold, copper, iron ore, coal, and rare earths. They give investors exposure to commodity prices and industry-specific risks—geopolitical, regulatory, operational, and cyclical demand—which often makes them more volatile than broad-market equities. These companies had the highest dollar trading volume of any Mining stocks within the last several days.
