Summary:

On Demand Soon.

2020 has been a breakout year for precious metals. The uncertainty and risk-off sentiment created by the global COVID-19 pandemic have increased the luster of precious metals. Both gold and silver ETFs have enjoyed record flows. We believe this bull market will extend into 2021 given expansionary monetary and fiscal policies worldwide, aiming to stoke inflation while keeping interest rates at record lows. In this webcast, join us as we explore the key benefits of precious metals investing in the current environment:

  • Gold and silver have been “winners” during the COVID crisis
  • Gold reached record highs in 2020 and silver rose dramatically
  • Mining equities will continue to benefit from high metal prices
  • Palladium continues its meteoric rise since 2016
  • Platinum is preparing to breakout
  • Precious metals provide an alternative when bonds provide little return and no downside portfolio protection
