Our Precious Metals Index is an exclusive commodity index made up of four popularly-traded precious metals: gold, silver, platinum and palladium. These types of physical metals can come in the form of bullion bars and coins. Gold and silver are known as ‘safe haven’ assets that investors tend to invest in during periods of economic or political instability, although the price of palladium has risen to become even more valuable than gold in recent years. Our Precious Metals commodity basket allows you to speculate on the price movements of multiple commodities with just one position. Start spread betting or trading CFDs on our Precious Metals Index.
