5 Top Weekly TSXV Stocks: Rare Earths Stocks Up

The S&P/TSX Venture Composite Index (INDEXTSI:JX) closed the week down at 539.74 points, declining 1.13 percent.

Last week saw the US Federal Reserve cut interest rates for the third time this year, with gold and silver prices reacting to the news.

Meanwhile, base metals were a mixed bag, with copper falling and nickel increasing after Indonesia’s export ban took full effect.

That said, a number of stocks in the mining sector saw a share price increase, including:

• Reconnaissance Energy (TSXV:RECO)
• Namibia Critical Metals (TSXV:NMI)
• Graphite One (TSXV:GPH) 
• Roscan Gold (TSXV:ROS) 
• Mkango Resources (TSXV:MKA)
