Here Is Why Silver And Platinum Will Outperform Gold In 2021

Gold is a safe haven for investors in times of uncertainty. Investors rush to accumulate precious metals when conventional paper investments such as stocks decline or experience volatility. For this reason, gold had a good run in 2020 due to the coronavirus pandemic coupled with geopolitical and economic uncertainty.

Investors resorted to stockpiling precious metals to protect their wealth. As a result, the price of precious metals leaped significantly due to a supply deficit. To be precise, gold recorded a 20% increase while silver and platinum increased 47% and 10%, respectively.

Precious Metals Will Perform Better In 2021

After a spectacular year, precious metals are poised to experience solid gains in 2021. According to Phillip Newman, MD at consultants Metal Focus, gold will hit new highs, but silver will see the highest gains. The price of precious metals will strengthen in the first quarter thanks to the low-interest rates and weak dollar.

According to ForexTradingBonus.com, The US economy’s slowdown could trigger a weaker dollar during the first quarter and low corporate earning. Fast economic recoveries s in other parts of the world could exacerbate this situation.

Effect of Economy Recovery on Precious Metals

Investors have been cautious and liquidated their positions, especially due to covid 19 worries.

Luckily, there is a likelihood that many countries will end restrictions and lift curfews with corona vaccine rollouts. This means there is a glimmer hope of economic recovery. Deploying the vaccine against the virus will boost investors’ confidence in assets that record a good performance during economic growth.

Additionally, with the end of the electioneering period, investors can now concentrate on fundamentals and other trading factors. For instance, Inflations threats, negative return on a bond, and massive government debt will continue in 2021, further supporting gold. According to Ros Norman, the Gold price could see a 20-25% increase.

Silver And Platinum Will Outdo Gold

Gold started experiencing growth in 2019 due to a slowing economy. The rally accelerated after the pandemic, hitting a record high of $2075 on August 7, 2020. As a result, the price of gold dipped to around $1900 as investors stopped buying. Although the demand for physical gold-dipped due to shutdowns, a surge was recorded in investment demand. For instance, SPDR Gold Trust, the largest gold-backed exchange-traded fund, recorded a 30% gain, the biggest since 2009.

According to USB Global Wealth Management, it is unlikely that gold will maintain this stellar performance in 2021. In fact, the firm predicts that silver and platinum will outperform gold in the coming months.

Similarly, MKS managing director Frederic Panizzutti points out that all precious metals prices will record solid gains this year. In an interview with Kitco news, he predicts that silver will be the best performer. Panizzutti also says that gold will reach an all-time high at $2300 despite the slow start this year. According to the firm, silver, platinum, and gold will be the best performing precious metals. The lag in silver and platinum could create a gap that will attract investment and speculative interest...

Steve Penny: The Bottom is In for Metals

Tom welcomes back Steve Penny. Steve is a full-time trader specializing in silver, gold, and uranium. 

Steve feels the US dollar remains in the classic definition of a downtrend, and the current pattern is similar to a previous failed breakout. 

Both the fundamentals and technicals appear bearish over the intermediate to long term. 

Silver remains in an uptrend, and we have been bouncing upwards off the 50-day moving average. 

Once we overcome resistance, we will be off to the races in silver. Steve likes to trade a small percentage of his portfolio, and how he plans his trades weekly. 

This approach allows him to reduce emotion and helps make him a better trader. 

The Gold-Silver Ratio reaching 120 was an unprecedented event, and he believes we could see 20 to 1 or higher near the end of this bull market. 

Silver miners are still undervalued compared to everything else, and over the long term, he expects them to outperform wildly. 

He discusses the long-term patterns for gold, and even if we have a pullback, we are still solidly in a bull trend. 

He is very bullish on platinum because its valuations recently reach historic levels relative to gold. 

It's quite likely we will outperform to the upside and perhaps even over correct. 

Lastly, Steve discusses why uranium is a growth industry and why the price must rise to incentivize new production. It's such a small market that large investment firms entering will have an outsized effect on uranium shares.
