Top Gold Stocks To Watch Today – February 3rd

Freeport-McMoRan, Barrick Mining, and Newmont are the three Gold stocks to watch today, according to MarketBeat’s stock screener tool. Gold stocks are shares of companies whose primary business is tied to gold — typically miners, explorers, refiners, and related service, royalty, or streaming firms — whose revenues and profits depend on the production and sale of gold. For investors they offer a way to gain exposure to movements in the gold market, but returns also reflect company-specific factors such as operating costs, mine life and geopolitical or regulatory risks. These companies had the highest dollar trading volume of any Gold stocks within the last several days.
