Choose Your Metal
The four precious metals are gold, silver, platinum, and palladium. Most people are very familiar with gold, which has stood as the monetary metal of choice for millennia. Most people overlook gold’s close cousin, silver – which has a long history of being used as a monetary metal on top of being a ubiquitous industrial metal (used in the electronics, energy, and medical industries).
Without going into great detail, silver generally follows gold’s price movements in a much more volatile way. It has been described as gold on steroids and produces magnified gains when the metals appreciate (and magnified losses when the metals go down). An investor with a solid risk appetite and who thinks that gold will appreciate should therefore have an allocation to silver.
Silver is roughly 65 times cheaper (at current prices) than gold, which makes it far more affordable than gold but also greatly increases its transaction costs (since transaction related costs are spread on an item of much lower value). Silver’s lower value would make it appropriate for transacting everyday items in a scenario of economic chaos. An ounce of gold is far too powerful for such purpose.
Platinum and palladium make up the platinum group metals (PGMs) that are rare precious metals with unique physical properties. The largest use for both metals is in the production of catalytic converters used in the automotive industry to reduce harmful emissions. The second largest use for both metals is the jewelry industry. In addition to catalytic converters and jewelry, both metals are used in diverse industrial applications in the electronics, medical and petroleum industries.
The use of platinum and palladium for coinage and monetary purposes is generally limited. The demand for both metals is therefore much linked to the continued expansion of the automotive industry and the regulatory push for more stringent vehicle emission standards. The investment case for PGMs lies more with the limited global supply of both metals: more than 80% of world palladium production is concentrated in just two countries – Russia and South Africa. Russia alone accounts for nearly half of total palladium supply. Continued growth of the automotive industry coupled with supply disruptions could therefore constitute a strong investment case for both metals.
