As the geopolitical and economic environments grow more volatile and complicated, we will look at the role the precious metals have to play in investor portfolios. In an era where more and more investors are looking at alternative asset classes, precious metals are a time-tested tool for diversification, especially during periods of global turbulence and uncertainty.
We will explore why the metals might be complementary for portfolios and look at the asset class in light of the following:
-Inflation and interest rates- higher for longer?
-US Dollar strength/weakness.
-Global diplomatic and military strife and realignment.
-Domestic economic uncertainty- recessionary forces.
-A contentious election cycle in the making.
