Looking For Penny Stocks To Watch? Check For News
Penny stocks are low-priced stocks traded outside significant stock exchanges. These stocks usually have a market value of less than $5 per share, making them affordable to new and small investors. However, investing in penny stocks can be risky, and investors should stay informed about the latest news and developments to make informed investment decisions.
Economic news is a critical factor that can impact penny stocks. Financial reports, such as GDP, employment, inflation, and interest rates, give investors a sense of the current state of the economy and can help make predictions about its future trajectory. Investors should keep an eye on these indicators to understand the economic environment in which cheap stocks operate.
Interest rates are another significant factor that can impact penny stocks. The Federal Reserve sets the interest rate, and changes to this rate can significantly affect the economy. Rising interest rates can make borrowing money more expensive for people and businesses, leading to decreased spending and slower economic growth. Lower interest rates, on the other hand, can increase spending and boost economic growth.
News about individual companies can also be catalysts that affect low-priced stocks. Announcements about earnings, mergers and acquisitions, and new product launches can significantly affect a company’s stock price. Positive news, like strong earnings, can cause the stock price to increase. Meanwhile, negative news, like weak earnings or a lawsuit, can lead to a drop in the stock price.
Political news can also play a significant role in penny stock investments. Announcements about new laws and regulations, elections, and other political developments can impact the stock market. The election of a business-friendly government can increase investment in the country, which might help boost the stock market. Conversely, newly elected government officials hostile to business can lead to decreased investment and a decline in the stock market.
Using Penny Stock News To Your Advantage
Reading news articles, watching financial news programs, and subscribing to penny stock newsletters can help investors stay ahead of the curve and make more informed decisions.
It’s crucial to evaluate news sources when making investment decisions. Not all sources are equal, and some may be vested in presenting information a certain way. For example, a financial news program sponsored by a particular investment firm may give information that is favorable to that firm. Investors should consider the source’s credibility carefully when evaluating news and making investment decisions. This article looks at a handful of cheap stocks with big news turning heads in the stock market this week.

Amyris Inc. (AMRS)
Shares of Amyris have traded in a relatively tight range since the start of the year. One of the primary technical levels that seem to have held it down is the 50-day moving average. Shares haven’t traded above this level for a sustained period since the end of Q3 last year. This week, AMRS stock tested this technical level several times, and its latest headlines acted as yet another catalyst for new momentum to kick in.

AMTD Idea Group (AMTD)
Shares of AMTD IDEA Group have been on the radar for months. The attention started with the company’s tie-in with AMTD Digital Inc. (NYSE: HKD). Last year, HKD stock exploded after going public from around $12 to highs of over $2,550 in a few days.
The Asian digital solution provider saw its shares explode as it debuted publicly. The company’s parent AMTD Group was launched in 2003 by Hong Kong’s telco giant CK Hutchison, founded by billionaire Li Ka-shing. AMTD Digital was spun out in March. Fast-forward to this year, and the two stocks continue moving in sympathy with one another.
