Precious metals are said to love unpredictability, so maybe gold and silver dropping 12% and 25%  despite the war in Iran is par for the course.

Safe-haven asset prices dropping along with stocks while oil prices soar certainly isn't a page from the usual playbook, but the oversold status of these markets following their unprecedented run-up likely played a part.

However, despite Tuesday night’s ceasefire, Middle East uncertainty and tension will continue to influence markets, and precious metals are beginning to show signs of resurgent upward momentum.

Today, we'll look at five metals and mining stocks that combine upside and stability in a space not exactly known for low volatility. Each stock on our list has a minimum Benzinga Edge Quality Score of 90 and a daily chart showing a bullish reversal pattern.

Here are the five stocks to buy for the metals rebound.

Sibanye Stillwater Ltd.

Benzinga Edge Quality Score: 95.46

Sibanye Stillwater (NYSE:SBSW) provides diverse precious metals exposure through its operations across five continents. The company mines gold, nickel, and zinc and produces copper, cobalt, and platinum, giving it a diverse portfolio of assets that can weather volatility in commodity prices. HSBC upgraded the stock to Buy in January, setting a price target of $24.80, representing nearly 100% upside following the recent selloff. The stock has also seen an uptick in insider buying since March, implying that company executives think they're getting more shares at a discount.

SBSW shares are down more than 20% over the last three months, but the decline stalled at the 200-day moving average, and several bullish signals are now emerging. The Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) indicator recently performed a bullish crossover, which adds strength to the support at the 200-day moving average. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) also made a sharp bounce off the oversold threshold and appears ready to break above 50, a level where buying action usually gains momentum.

Gold Fields Ltd.

Benzinga Edge Quality Score: 94.16

Gold Fields (NYSE:GFI) is a pure-play gold miner with operations in South Africa, Australia, Ghana, and Peru. The company has a $41 billion market cap and reported revenue of more than $3.4 billion in the first half of 2025, a year-over-year (YOY) surge of more than 65%. The company reports its full-year numbers on April 21st, less than two weeks away.

This pre-earning drop could be a great opportunity to open new positions. GFI shares have also plummeted this month, though signs suggest the bottom is in. The RSI bounced off oversold territory right as the stock hit the 200-day moving average, creating a nice support level for buying momentum. Now the RSI has re-entered the bullish zone above 50, with confirmation from the bullish MACD crossover.

Agnico Eagle Mines Ltd.

Benzinga Edge Quality Score: 92.47

Based in Toronto, Agnico Eagle Mines (NYSE:AEM) is a $104 billion gold miner that explores, locates, and extracts gold bullion in North America and Europe. The stock is up over 100% in the last year thanks to soaring gold prices and its own impressive haul, which stood at a record 3.45 million ounces in 2025. Gross margins are north of 70%, and the company is sitting on a $4 billion pile of free cash flow, giving it one of the strongest financial positions in the industry. Agnico reported revenue growth of more than 60% YOY in its Q4 2025 earnings release and raised its dividend payout by more than 12%.

AEM shares didn't need to test the 200-day moving average to resume upward momentum thanks to a strong RSI bounce off the oversold threshold of 30. With the stock down only 5% over the last month, there was less selling pressure to alleviate than with SBSW and GFI. And now that buyers have returned, the stock is once again testing the 50-day moving average, which had previously provided strong support during the 2025 bull run.

Century Aluminum Co.

Benzinga Edge Quality Score: 91.92

Century Aluminum (NASDAQ:CENX) doesn't mine precious metals, but it does provide exposure to a crucial commodity. With global aluminum prices on the rise due to the war in Iran, a North American producer is primed to fill in the gap, and that's exactly how Century has positioned itself in 2026. Not only is the company a beneficiary of the new Section 232 tariffs on steel and aluminum, but it also plans to build the first new aluminum smelter in the United States since 1980. Regulatory and geopolitical tailwinds are boosting CENX stock, which has a Benzinga Edge Momentum score of 98.58 in addition to its stellar 91.92 Quality score.

Century received a massive price target boost from B. Riley Securities this week, which raised its target from $68 to $86, representing nearly 30% upside from current levels. The stock also received a technical boost from a bullish MACD cross, helping bounce the share price off the 50-day moving average as upward momentum resumed. The fundamental and technical tailwinds are simply too hard to ignore with CENX shares.

Alamos Gold Inc.

Benzinga Edge Quality Score: 90.82

Alamos (NYSE:AGI) has the lowest Quality score of the stocks on today's list, but it may also have the most upside among the gold miners. The Canadian-based company has a $19 billion market cap and increased its gold reserves to more than 16 million ounces in 2025, helping boost revenue to a record $1.8 billion in Q4 2025. Management also announced a stunning 60% dividend increase, driven by record free cash flow of $350 million.

Despite a nearly 90% gain over the last 12 months, the stock still trades at just 22 times earnings and 14 times EV/EBITDA. AGI shares are also triggering bullish signals on the daily chart, recently retaking the 50-day moving average as the MACD produced a bullish crossover. The RSI has also broken back into bullish territory, and a new rally could be emerging here over the next few sessions.
