Introduction To Trading Precious Metals
Although precious metals do have certain industrial applications, they are overwhelmingly considered a store of value.
Precious metals are renowned as safe-haven assets. When traditional financial markets, such as stocks, indices and bonds stop performing, many investors typically park their cash in precious metal investments. Humans instinctively recognise these shiny metals as valuable. Gold played a vital role in the early Egyptian, Lydian, Greek and Roman empires. Throughout history, gold and silver have been used as money. Even though precious metals no longer have an active role in the economy, central banks and large commercial banks continue to hoard them, and active investors use them as a hedging tool.
