Why the Move?
The precious metal space has been an area to watch lately, given the surge in the metal’s prices. Gold is trading at record highs, driven by inflation concerns, central bank accumulation, and geopolitical stress. Silver has climbed to 13-year highs, benefiting from its dual role as both an investment asset and an industrial metal. Meanwhile, platinum is at a four-year high driven by strong industrial demand, supply constraints and clean energy adoption. Palladium is also on the rise, buoyed by tight supplies and resilient industrial demand
More Gains Ahead?
Currently, GLTR has a Zacks ETF Rank #3 (Hold), with a Medium risk outlook. Therefore, it is hard to get a handle on its future returns one way or the other. However, a weighted alpha of 38.16 and a 20-day volatility of 16.83% show that there is still some promise for risk-aggressive investors who want to ride on this surging ETF.
