Trading Gold and Precious Metals

The value of gold has been highly valued for centuries. It is an important element in many financial markets and has traditionally been associated with monetary wealth.

On the financial markets, precious metals investments tend to hold their value over long periods of time. Thus they provide a long-term safe haven for commodity traders.

Factors affecting precious metals’ prices:

  • Supply and Demand: With more demand, prices for the precious metal increase whereas when there is a lack of interest in the metal, its value decreases.
  • Value of the U.S. Dollar: As the precious metals are dollar-denominated their price is generally inversely related to the value of the US dollar.
  • Inflation: The price of precious metals rises or falls in response to inflation, or a rise or fall in demand. Inflation is generally a factor that drives up the prices of precious metals.
  • Industrial demand: If technology and industrial use for gold, such as jewelry and electronics, continues and increases, then the price of precious metals will rise. Investing in precious metals is one way to hedge against market volatility, political uncertainty, and economic collapse. It can also be an important part of a diversified long-term investment portfolio.
