Why Trade Gold & Silver

During times of financial uncertainty, investors often look to safe-haven investments, such as gold. The current global economic recession has generated a lot of interest in this precious metals market; in fact, gold has recently reached a historic high of $1,226 an ounce. In addition, as gold and the USD are negatively correlated, long term investors may buy gold in order to hedge against the dollar.

Like gold, silver supplies are also limited. The growing scarcity and increased popularity of silver jewellery and other products means demand for this commodity is expected to rise in the near future. Since the market for silver is smaller relative to the Forex markets and gold market, short term investors can take advantage of the volatility in this market.

*Leverage may increase both gains and losses.
