Shares of precious metals stocks are trading higher amid a rise in the price of gold and silver.

<p>The stock market can trick old buyers into selling their profitable holdings at the first sign of a dip or slowdown. This effect is further amplified for new buyers who are anxious to know whether their ideas were right or wrong. Often, their profit and loss statements give them the answer. As the S&amp;P 500 trades at the lower end of its recent bracket, these questions could keep investors up at night.</p>
<p>However, the answer doesn&#39;t have to be that hard. Some stocks could use trimming as they&#39;ve run their course, but some show the potential to keep moving higher. Driven from both fundamental &ndash; and technical &ndash; reasons, there are three stocks today that deserve a second look from investors going into the next quarter, as they propose more upside potential.</p>
<p>Stocks like <strong>HSBC Holdings Inc.</strong> (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/hsbc#NYSE">HSBC</a>) are making the list of potential runners, a financial sector play riding off of China&#39;s new stimulus. Then, investors can consider the effects today&#39;s economy will have on shares of <strong>Uber Technologies Inc.</strong> (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/uber#NYSE">UBER</a>) as more people need to supplement their income, and car repossessions drive the need for Uber. Finally, a precious metal super cycle is not done bringing <strong>Hecla Mining</strong> (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/hl#NYSE">HL</a>) stock to its full potential today.</p>
<h2><strong>HSBC: Asia&#39;s Banking Giant Has More Room to Run Higher</strong></h2>
<p>Regional banks in China are considered safe enough for some investors. Still, the majority would be under the belief that most of those banks are too risky and illiquid to invest in. This is where HSBC comes into play; its international reach and $167 billion in market capitalization make it a safer choice for investors to consider.</p>
<p>Now that the stock trades at its 52-week high, some may wonder whether it has what it takes to push another leg higher. According to analysts at DBS Bank, HSBC stock earned a Strong Buy rating, though there aren&#39;t too many price targets to speak of.</p>
<p>Investors can use the stock&#39;s $1.98 dividend payout as a gauge, however, which translates into an annual yield of 4.38% today. High dividend yields are not synonymous with expensive stocks, which means HSBC could have more room to move higher based on this, but there&#39;s more.</p>
<p>Bears know that China&#39;s new stimulus and interest rate cuts will have a positive effect on all of Asia&#39;s economies, so HSBC is at the forefront of the profit and bull center. Because of this, HSBC stock&#39;s short interest declined by 6.1% in the past month, showing signs of bearish capitulation.</p>
<p>Finally, to drive the bank&#39;s growth, Wall Street analysts now forecast up to 19.9% earnings per share (EPS) growth forecasts, above most other names in the banking industry, all because of its exposure to China and the rest of Asia.</p>
<h2><strong>Uber Stock Still Holds Double-Digit Upside Potential</strong></h2>
<p>Even though the stock now trades at 92% of its 52-week high, the odds of making a new high before the year is over become slim, at least for those scared of buying near a top. Despite this trend, analysts at Citigroup decided to reiterate their Buy target on Uber stock, with a $98 share price target to go with it.</p>
<p>To prove these analysts right, Uber stock would need to rally by as much as 34.3% from where it trades today and definitely set up to hit a new annual high to put those buying the top fears to rest. To drive this double-digit upside, investors can lean on Wall Street&#39;s EPS growth forecasts for $0.60 a share next year.</p>
<p>Compared to today&#39;s $0.47 EPS, this represents a growth rate of 28% over the next 12 months, justifying the price targets set so far. The bullish sentiment doesn&#39;t stop there, however, as some institutional capital also recently made its way into the stock.</p>
<p>Leading the way in institutional buying were those from the Czech National Bank, who pushed their Uber stock holdings higher by 7.5% as of October 2024, bringing their net investment up to $32.2 million today. Investors can also consider this factor for their potential buy decision into the next run higher.</p>
<h2><strong>Silver&#39;s Catch-Up to Gold Fuels Hecla Mining Stock&#39;s Rally to a New High</strong></h2>
<p>As gold prices reached a new all-time high, a potential arbitrage opportunity may be found in silver, as the precious metal (historically correlated to gold) has yet to catch up in price action. This is where Hecla Mining stock comes into play for this catch-up, meaning it could reach a new high despite trading at 92% of its 52-week high level.</p>
<p>This could be one reason why analysts at HC Wainwright landed on a Buy target for the stock along with a $10.25 price target, calling for a net upside of up to 55.3% from today&#39;s already high price. That&#39;s also a reason to justify those at Van Eck Associates boosting their holdings in Hecla Mining stock by 6.8% over the past two quarters.</p>
<p>The new addition brought the group&#39;s net investment to $291 million today, or 9.8% ownership in the company. Being a $4.2 billion company also gives Hecla Mining the benefit of growing more aggressively than other comparable peers, leaving investors with the potential to ride another wave higher.</p>

Shares of precious metals companies are trading lower amid a pullback in gold and silver.

<p>Vice President <strong>Kamala Harris</strong> has vowed to establish a national stockpile of critical minerals, citing their importance for economic and national security. This initiative forms part of her broader $100 billion industrial policy proposal, unveiled Wednesday, which includes various measures to strengthen the <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/us-economy" rel="noreferrer noopener">U.S. economy</a>.</p>
<p>Harris's &#8220;America Forward&#8221; agenda aims to reduce the U.S. <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/commodities/24/04/38114381/critical-minerals-race-heats-up-us-eu-challenge-chinas-dominance" rel="noreferrer noopener">reliance on foreign sources</a>, particularly China, for these crucial resources. The strategy proposes new incentives, including tax credits, and potentially invoking the Defense Production Act to boost domestic processing capabilities.</p>
<p>As reported by Bloomberg, Kamala Harris&#8217; campaign stated that enhanced domestic production and other sustainable initiatives would strengthen critical mineral supply chains with allies and partners. This includes encouraging investments that boost the production of these resources in the U.S. and among allied countries.</p>
<p>Critical minerals, including lithium, cobalt, and rare earth elements, are essential for modern technology and defense applications. These materials are indispensable for producing electric vehicle batteries, semiconductors, and military equipment. China currently dominates the global processing of many minerals, posing a strategic vulnerability for the U.S. As demand for clean energy and advanced technology grows, securing a steady supply of these minerals has become a top priority.</p>
<p><strong>President Biden</strong>'s administration has already <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/esg/24/03/37914506/bidens-475m-for-mining-aims-to-power-communities-hit-hardest-by-our-evolving-energy-landscape" rel="noreferrer noopener">made significant strides</a> in addressing this issue. Through initiatives like Executive Order 14017, Biden ordered a comprehensive review of critical mineral supply chains, leading to billions in investments to strengthen domestic capabilities. Since Biden took office, more than $120 billion has been committed to building battery and critical mineral supply chains, creating over 250,000 energy jobs, and ensuring future demand for essential materials like lithium and cobalt is met.</p>
<p>Despite these efforts, the U.S. mining sector still needs to overcome significant challenges. Domestic mining projects take <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/07/39870803/us-mine-development-delays-among-worlds-longest-second-only-to-zambia" rel="noreferrer noopener">nearly 29 years </a>to move from discovery to production, according to a study from S&amp;P Global published in July.</p>
<p>This timeline is significantly longer than in countries like Canada and Australia, where litigation risks and regulatory hurdles are much lower. These factors have slowed progress and discouraged private-sector investment in U.S. mining ventures.</p>
<p>Still, the push to increase domestic production of critical minerals has gained bipartisan support, as Republicans and Democrats recognize its strategic importance.</p>
<p>Thus, regardless of the outcome of the upcoming election, the U.S. will likely continue prioritizing critical mineral production, securing the nation's needs for the energy transition.</p>

<p><strong>Hecla Mining's</strong> (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HL#NYSE">HL</a>) short percent of float has fallen 8.02% since its last report. The company recently reported that it has <strong>13.34 million shares sold short</strong>, which is 2.18% of all regular shares that are available for trading.

<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
<p>Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock/">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.</p>
<p>Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.</p>

<p>As you can see from the chart above the percentage of shares that are sold short for Hecla Mining has declined since its last report. This does not mean that the stock is going to rise in the near-term but traders should be aware that less shares are being shorted.</p>
<h3>Comparing Hecla Mining's Short Interest Against Its Peers</h3>
<p>Peer comparison is a popular technique amongst analysts and investors for gauging how well a company is performing. A company's peer is another company that has similar characteristics to it, such as industry, size, age, and financial structure. You can find a company's peer group by reading its 10-K, proxy filing, or by doing your own similarity analysis.</p>
<p>According to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/">Benzinga Pro</a>, Hecla Mining's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 3.44%, which means the company has <strong>less</strong> short interest than most of its peers.</p>

How Is The Market Feeling About Hecla Mining?

<p>Silver mining stocks have recorded their best weekly performance in over four years, with some exchange-traded funds (ETFs) delivering their <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/best-precious-metals-stocks">highest gains since inception</a>.</p>
<p>A perfect storm of rising gold prices, expectations of a Federal Reserve interest rate cut, and a condition of structural global silver supply shortage has propelled prices above $30 per ounce, driving an almost 10% surge this week alone.</p>
<p>Several silver-focused ETFs have outperformed the broader market, benefiting from the rapid rise in prices. Here's a breakdown of their weekly performance as of 3 p.m. ET on Friday:</p>

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Worsening Silver Shortage</h3>
<p>The silver market&#8217;s supply and demand dynamics are only tightening, pushing prices higher. A Silver Institute survey highlighted a growing supply deficit, with demand expected to outstrip supply by 265 million ounces (oz.) this year, marking the steepest shortage since 2020.</p>
<p>In 2024, industrial demand for the metal is forecasted to rise to 710.9 million oz., up from 654 million oz. in 2023, driven largely by increased use in photovoltaic cells for solar energy production.</p>
<p>This demand spike is colliding with a flat supply, creating a structural deficit that's driving prices upward.</p>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Fed Rate Cuts Could Fuel Further Gains</h3>
<p>Investor sentiment around silver and other precious metals is being buoyed by expectations of a near-term Federal Reserve interest rate cut. </p>
<p>With inflation data aligning with a broader disinflationary trend, market odds currently point to a 49% chance of a 50-basis-point cut during next week's Fed meeting, with the remaining expectations on a 25-basis-point cut, as per CME FedWatch. </p>
<p>Falling Treasury yields and a weaker dollar have further supported precious metals. </p>
<p>Gold prices have soared to fresh all-time highs, surpassing $2,560/oz., with silver rallying alongside, notching five consecutive positive trading days this week—its longest winning streak since July.</p>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Top-Performing Miners</h3>
<p>Silver mining stocks have outpaced the metal itself, with some posting massive gains. Here are the five top-performing miners this week:</p>
