Precious Metal Trading
Precious metals are often referred to as safe assets in times of political, economic and market turmoil.
The U.S. dollar is a spot commodity, with gold being a pair based on the physical price. Gold can be bought and sold at the right time. It is heavily influenced by supply and demand. Gold is a delicate but very popular commodity available in the interbank market.
Precious metals are a great asset that allows you to diversify your trading strategies. In terms of global market size, no country, except the entire world, is driving supply and demand. They can trade favorably in both up and down markets without paying additional fees.
