Precious metals are elements that are considered chemically inert and rare. These metals have a high economic value contributed by their utilization in industrial processes and scarce availability. Precious metals are very ductile and have a higher luster than base metals, thus making them less reactive than base metals. These properties allow them to hold a higher place in terms of market prices. The four primary precious metals include silver, palladium, gold, and platinum. Precious metals are corrosion-resistant and are most popularly used in currency, jewelry, and investments.

Market Trends and Drivers:

Precious metals are consistently used in the production of jewelry, which witnessed a significant rise in the worldwide demand.
