    Precious metals as an investment - statistics & facts

    Precious metals have long been seen as a hedge against inflation and economic uncertainty. When stock markets are volatile or currencies devalue, investors flock to precious metals like gold and silver as a store of value, driving their prices up. Gold, in particular, stands out as the most popular choice for protecting wealth in times of uncertainty, with central banks around the world holding vast reserves to safeguard against currency fluctuations and political upheaval. Also, the demand for gold as an investment outweighs its demand for industrial uses - more so if we also consider owning jewelry as a form of investment. This pattern contrasts sharply to other precious metals. Silver, for instance, has a much stronger industrial demand, due to its use in sectors like electronics, solar panels, and medical equipment. Platinum follows a similar pattern, with industrial demand outpacing investment demand, due to the its many different end uses.
