An Investor’s Guide to Precious Metals and Critical Materials – Sprott Asset management – 9.24.24

Summary:

2024 has been an exciting year thus far for precious metals and critical materials. Silver has established a strong base price and gold is striving for important breakout levels. Copper has found a burgeoning demand within the global energy transition. Uranium remains crucial for the renewed focus on nuclear power, and as a reliable base load power source. All of these metals may contribute to a diversified portfolio.

• A technical perspective on the key drivers for gold, silver, uranium and copper.
• Gold’s current price momentum and silver’s growth through its contribution to solar panels and electric vehicles (EVs).
• Demand for uranium likely outstripping supply, with a nearly 1 billion pound deficit to 2040 and copper’s central role in electricity transmission and EVs.
• Surging energy consumption and the role that critical minerals play in further development.
• Critical materials benefiting from the buildout of AI and data centers.
• Strategic portfolio allocation for precious metals and critical materials.
