Six weeks into 2020 and the name of the investment game so far is resources.
There’s been a seismic increase in investor and expert interest in plays in the resource sector, and specifically, in metals and mining companies. The shift came hot on the heels of soaring precious metals prices and otherwise volatile markets. In times of uncertainty in other sectors, investors come to resource stocks for their tried-and-true methods to success.
Higher metals prices have brought the perfect hot investment sector mix of majors looking to make big moves and juniors ramping up in activity. The heightened investor interest has brought significantly increased traffic to metals and mining companies on Stockhouse, as investors look for small-cap opportunities in the current market.
