Guide to Metals Commodity Market

Invest by trading on the metals commodity market


Investing in the metals commodity market can be lucrative. For one thing, precious metals have intrinsic value. This is a primary reason for adding precious metals to your business portfolio. Keep in mind however, metals trading can be risky and volatile.

Experts say you should have approximately 10 to 20% of your investments in tangible assets, such as platinum, gold or silver. One major reason you should consider precious metals investing is to protect yourself during periods when the dollar falls. Like the stock market, it's important to know information on precious metals so you'll know when to buy and sell. You can find this information by doing the following:

1. Use the exchanges to monitor charts and news on precious metals.

2. Check precious metals indexes frequently.

3. Sign up with a metals dealer to purchase precious metals.


Action Steps

The best contacts and resources to help you get it done

Use exchanges to monitor charts and news on precious metals trading Make a habit of looking at the exchanges to see how precious metals are doing. Exchanges will help you decide whether you should invest in gold or invest in silver, for example. Charts give you a visible picture of the metals commodity market, helping you to see if it's in an uptrend or downtrend. Use the charts to help you decide when to buy and trade precious metals.

I recommend:  The New York Mercantile Exchange is the largest commodity futures exchange in the world. You’ll want to look specifically at its COMEX Divisions, which focus on gold, silver, copper, aluminum, and precious metals from other countries. If you’re looking to trade in metals futures, you’ll want to look at the Chicago Mercantile Exchange. The exchange has the first electronic and global trading platform, CME Globex, for metals futures.

Study precious metals trading indexes Studying the precious metals indexes can also give you good ideas of what's happening in the industrial metals commodity market. Examine the index of the top-producing precious metals companies. Studying the index can give you an overall picture of the industrial metals commodity market.

I recommend:  Dow Jones Precious Metals Index consists of U.S. trading stocks of companies that specialize in precious metals, including platinum, silver, and gold. The index has data on these stocks available back to December 31, 2000. If you're looking to invest in gold globally, you'll want to check out the Gold-Eagle Gold Fund Index. This index consist of eight precious metals mutual funds from different countries, including South Africa, Australia, Canada, and South America.

Purchase precious metals through a dealer Open an account with a precious metals dealers firm. Not only can you open an account and trade, but you can take advantage of the firm's research tools and news on the markets. These firms publish news on precious metals market so you can decide if this is the right time to buy and trade precious metals.

I recommend:  Consider Monex Precious Metals, which has been in business for more than 40 years. Its Monex Atlas Account is designed for short-term precious metals trading, especially during periods when silver's price is volatile.  You'll also want to consider Blanchard and Company, the largest precious metals dealer in the U.S. The company employs highly-skilled professionals who will help you with your precious metals investment decisions.
