The precious metals market is still in focus as we head into the spring, with gold futures (GCM24) closing out March by rising to yet another new record high. Similarly, silver futures (SIK24) have also started to gain some positive momentum, up 10% over the last month. Along with concerns over lingering inflation and geopolitical tensions, these price movements have been driven in part by a softer U.S. dollar.
Investors who are looking for ways to capitalize on the price action in precious metals, while also generating regular income, have often turned to dividend-paying mining stocks. These companies not only provide exposure to gold and silver prices, but also pay regular dividends to their investors - making them attractive options for income-seeking investors.
