In the Forex market, precious metals are treated as currencies, and are traded around the clock in pairs with other currencies. Their low or negative correlation to other asset classes provides an effective means of diversifying portfolios and hedging risks.
Trade Gold (XAU), Silver (XAG), Platinum (XPT) and Palladium (XPD) against the main currencies.
Precious metals offer insights into economic health and are often viewed as a safe haven during times of economic or political uncertainty.
