ASX 200 shares had yet another day of gains on Wednesday as the S&P/ASX 200 Index (ASX: XJO) closed 0.06% higher at 6,148.40 points.
There was a mix of winners and losers on the share market yesterday from tech shares to gold miners and Aussie retailers.
Despite the market noise, there are still a couple of ASX 200 shares that I’m keeping my eye on right now. Check out why these top picks are on my watchlist below.
3 ASX 200 shares I’m watching in 2020
The first Aussie share that I’m watching is JB Hi-Fi Limited (ASX: JBH). JB Hi-Fi shares are up 11.49% this year and have delivered strongly for shareholders.
That’s despite the February and March bear market that sent ASX 200 shares plummeting lower.
JB Hi-Fi has really benefitted from a strong online presence and its extensive electronics range. More Aussies have been stocking up on laptops, monitors and other accessories in the move towards a work from home model.
It’s not just JB Hi-Fi shares that have been climbing in 2020. The NextDC Ltd (ASX: NXT) share price has rocketed 34.95% this year as demand for its services has surged.
NextDC owns and operates data centres around Australia and recently expanded its balance sheet with a $672 million equity raising.
While a 34.95% gain doesn’t scream a buy to most investors, I believe NextDC still has some strong growth potential with a good strategy and clear expansion steps.
One ASX 200 share to watch that hasn’t climbed higher this year is BHP Group Ltd (ASX: BHP). Shares in the Aussie miner are down 3.65% but have some strong momentum behind them.
With iron ore prices rebounding strongly at the moment, I think the BHP share price is worth watching in 2020.
Foolish takeaway
These are just a few of the ASX 200 shares I’ve got my eye on right now. The share market volatility seems to have partially subsided since March and April.
This means right now could present a good opportunity to assess the real value of some of these companies without market noise.
We hear it over and over from investors, “I wish I had bought Altium or Afterpay when they were first recommended by The Motley Fool. I’d be sitting on a gold mine!” And it’s true.
And while Altium and Afterpay have had a good run, we think these 5 other stocks are screaming buys. And you can buy them now for less than $5 a share!
