OUTLOOK AND INVESTMENTS

Forecast for the month, week, today, tomorrow for precious metals: gold, silver, platinum, palladium

The advantage of investing in gold, platinum, silver and other metals is the independent value of such metals. In comparison, payment instruments constantly appear, disappear, undergo changes along with the collapse of financial systems. Precious metals are not threatened by such a prospect. The value of gold and silver is relatively stable.

The cost is volatile, but not subject to critical fluctuations.

However, there is another side of the coin when assessing the pros of investing in gold mining, buying this and other metals of value. It is difficult to predict, much less schedule changes in their value. The dynamics of profitability are poorly predictable, which means that one should not consider this option as the only source of funds. Platinum, palladium, antique silver, and other types of base metals of the highest value should be purchased only if there is free money. Factors affect their prices:

• The volume of production of gold-containing ore, minerals of high value;
• changes in international economic relations.

Investments in precious metals

The recommended volume of investments is up to 10% of the investment portfolio. And there are different variants of schemes, the choice should be made taking into account the type of precious metal, as well as the form of its purchase. For investments consider:

• Gold - a common option, predict the rate of gold is difficult to make, but the amount of income from investments for a short period of time is relatively small, due to the weak fluctuations in value, but if we consider the long-term investment, we can talk about larger returns;
• Silver: the cost is much lower than gold, which can be attributed to the disadvantages, but on the other hand, this precious metal is the leader in investment volume, as there are more opportunities for large investments, and the price is steadily rising, respectively, for 20 years, an income will increase significantly;
• Platinum: the precious metal is rarer and more expensive, and it is a more profitable way to invest, for comparison, the forecast for gold to make more difficult than for platinum, because the latter can bring more profit, for example, over 10 years, the price of platinum increased by 300%;
• Palladium: another type of rare precious metal, despite this, it is widely used, but is subject to fairly stringent control, for example, there is a limit to its sale, it is common scheme of cooperation with several banks, which will increase the investment portfolio.

If you plan to invest in one of these metals, you should consider factors:

• the economic situation in the country (the volume of precious metal reserves);
• precious metals market: the average price and quote at the moment, as well as the forecast of silver, gold, platinum and palladium according to analysts;
• investment period.

Investment options at the bank

Once you have studied the precious metals exchange rate forecast, you can contact a bank that offers services for maintaining impersonal metal accounts, as well as bullion storage. Examples include Sberbank, VTB, and Post Bank. There are different options for investing in a bank. They give you the opportunity to earn a monthly income:

• monetary deposit: in rubles, in currency;
• Purchase of precious metals: income can not be received immediately, the advantage of this method of investment is the lack of need to pay personal income tax, but this rule applies only to investments in precious metals, which are listed among the assets for at least 3 years;
• opening of an impersonal metal account, when an investor deposits an amount, it is automatically converted into grams.

There are also other investment options that are not regulated by the bank. No guarantees are given to the investor.

Investments in coins from precious metals

You can buy precious metal coins in many bank branches. But first you need to assess the feasibility of such actions. The main advantage is that there is no need to pay VAT, since precious coins are a means of payment.

In addition, the coins are made of precious metal, such investments are transparent - there is an opportunity to know how the price is formed on them.

But such investments also have disadvantages. They note the constant change in price, because it is a type of money, and therefore there is no guarantee that the purchase/sale value will remain at the same level. In addition, there are several factors that can significantly lower the price of a precious metal coin: the U.S. dollar, oil, the state of the International Monetary Fund. Owners of such funds are always at risk. The fact is that coins can be withdrawn from circulation. All these subtleties make it impossible to get more income on a buy/sell scheme if one lacks knowledge and experience in such operations.
