Extended data:
Precious metals mainly refer to eight metal elements such as gold, silver and platinum group metals (ruthenium, rhodium, palladium, osmium, iridium and platinum). Most of these metals have bright colors and strong chemical stability, so they are not easy to react with other chemicals under normal circumstances.
Precious metals investment is divided into physical investment and electronic transaction investment.
Among them, physical investment refers to the process that investors earn the difference by buying low and selling high when they are optimistic about the precious metal market. It can also be a means to avoid risks when the economic outlook is not optimistic, and realize the preservation and appreciation of assets.
Electronic trading refers to the decision to buy or sell precious metals such as gold and silver according to market price fluctuations. This kind of transaction generally has leverage, which can make a big return at a small cost.
With the aggravation of the threat of inflation, the turmoil of the global economic situation and the outbreak of the world financial crisis, the demand of precious metals investment, which has the function of hedging, has shown an explosive growth trend. Precious metals, because of their high liquidity and value preservation, can resist currency changes and price increases caused by inflation.
