Silver and platinum saw their prices fall in the first seven months of the year, especially in US dollar terms. Palladium, on the other hand, recorded an increase. All three precious metals are used in modern technology applications and demand is expected to rise. Palladium is needed for catalytic converters in gasoline vehicles. In addition, palladium no longer comes from the important production country Russia. After all, 40 percent of the world’s palladium came from Russia. Platinum is used in fuel cells. This technology is particularly effective in transportation and commercial vehicles. And the longer the Russia-Ukraine war lasts, the more expensive palladium can become.

The winners now should include companies like Sibanye-Stillwater – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K_oWMsHZZ5g . Broadly positioned, Sibanye-Stillwater has projects on five continents in gold, platinum group metals and battery metals.

For investors, commodities for future technologies should be an interesting way to enhance their portfolio. An investment in solid gold companies should always be on board. The focus should also be on the management and whether the projects are located in mining-friendly regions.

Osisko Development – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Eh0stFKsYwk – would come into consideration here. The company’s flagship project, the Cariboo Gold Project, is located in British Columbia. In addition, Osisko Devolopment has interests in a gold project in Mexico (San Antonio) and in a gold mine in Utah (Trixie).
