Precious metals have been recognised as a store of value for investors since the beginning of time and any serious investor’s portfolio will almost definitely contain some form of gold or silver.

Gold is the most liquid asset, as it’s very susceptible to economic and financial changes (the increasing/decreasing of the US interest rates, in particular). It has a high correlation with the leading world currencies: the Euro and the Dollar.

Whether you’re a trader or an investor, precious metals markets offer valuable indicators for correlated risk market direction, as well as being able to hedge or trade these predictable technical movements on MT4 with Vlado.
