- 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.
