Precious metals are rare, naturally occurring metals with high economic value, often being less reactive and more resistant to corrosion than other metals. Precious metals, such as gold, silver, platinum, and palladium, are rare, metallic elements with significant economic value due to their unique properties like corrosion resistance, excellent conductivity, and aesthetic appeal. They are essential in industries like jewelry, electronics, automotive, and finance. Gold is renowned for its malleability and non-reactivity, while silver is known for its high conductivity and antimicrobial properties. Platinum and palladium are renowned for their catalytic abilities, making them crucial in automotive catalytic converters. Their value fluctuates based on market demand, geopolitical events, and economic conditions, making them a popular investment choice. Rising global incomes have led to a surge in demand for luxury goods, particularly precious metals like gold and silver. The middle and affluent classes in developing nations like India, China, and Southeast Asia are buying gold and gem-studded jewelry for weddings, festivals, and religious offerings, highlighting the strong appeal of these precious metals. Various government initiatives drive the market of precious metals. For instance, the Indian government drastically lowered customs taxes on precious metals in the 2024 Budget to combat smuggling. The 15% tariff on gold bars was lowered to 6%, and the 15% duty on silver bars was lowered to 6%1. Although smuggling is anticipated to decline as a result of this action, the government will lose more than Rs 28,000 crore in revenue annually. However, the global precious metals market is experiencing significant price volatility, influenced by macroeconomic conditions, financial markets, and political uncertainties, affecting market stability.
