The junior resource stocks on our list have seen the largest percentage jump in price and volume over the past month
SmallCapPower | November 4, 2019: Commodities such as gold, silver, and copper have been performing well, as Hong Kong officially enters recession with protests going for almost eight months, the Chinese announcing that a long-term U.S. trade deal is unlikely, and the flattening yield curve driving investors into defensive assets. Gold, silver, and copper companies have been prospering from these increased commodity prices, with larger players receiving most of the attention. Today we have drilled down and discovered four Canada-listed junior resource stocks that have experienced increased price and volume momentum. Price and volume momentum are a good indicator of bullishness, as increased share prices on larger volumes show heightened investor interest in a stock.
