Invest in metals
via Keytrade Bank
Investing is one step away.
Open an accountInvestors who want to profit from a potential economic rebound in the near future invest frequently a part of their portfolio in metals.
The demand for industrial metals (such as aluminum, copper, nickel, lead, tin and zinc) depends largely on the order book from certain industrial sectors. Consequently, the prices of these metals are very sensitive to the economic situation. For example, stockpiling in China has driven up the prices of copper and zinc.
The price of precious metals (such as gold or silver) is on the other hand rather stimulated by investor's demand. Silver plays, however, an increasingly larger role in the growing technology sector and can therefore easier profit from a rebound of the economy.
Be aware that the rates of each different metal evolve independently. Numerous possibilities are available for investors interested in metals, taking into account their own personal knowledge and experience in the different investment products.
Below we give you some possibilities. The list of examples is not exhaustive and is provided purely informative.
