Gold stocks have been rallying on the rise in gold prices this quarter. This has been due things like the United States-China trade war and uncertainty regarding the U.S. Federal Reserve’s stance about interest rates. In an uncertain investment environment, people look for safe-haven stocks and gold recently emerged as one.
The price of gold climbed steadily but it seems that it may continue in the near future. Gold futures ended at a significantly higher price on Wednesday due to the weakness in the U. S. Dollar. Fresh uncertainty regarding rate cuts also helped fuel the concern. You could say that volatility in gold could be just as high as volatility as penny stocks.

In addition to that, the publication of the Federal Reserve’s Beige Book and the observation that the economy is growing at a modest rate stoked further panic. Overnight, the price of gold had fallen but prior to the publication of the aforementioned beige book, it climbed by as much as 0.9%.
It actually hit $1,424 an ounce. In such a situation, silver and gold stocks made some important moves as well. Here is a look at 3 penny stocks which one should keep an eye on over the coming days.
