Silver, Platinum and Palladium – More than Precious Metals – Sprott Asset Management – 5.22.19

Summary:

Now On Demand.

Silver, platinum and palladium (the “white metals”) join gold (the “yellow metal”) to complete the quartet of the world’s most precious metals. Although gold tends to overshadow them, the white precious metals have the same potential to hold an important role in an investor’s portfolio. Like gold, these metals offer an alternative to traditional investment assets and provide unique diversification benefits. Silver, platinum and palladium are also key drivers in new frontiers of industry and technology, including innovations in solar photovoltaic energy, automotive applications for both electric vehicle technology and ICE catalytic converter applications. In this webcast, join us as we explore the key benefits of the white precious metals:

• Silver investor sentiment is at a bottom, and at $15 we see tremendous upside potential
• Silver demand reached a 3-year high in 2018, but supply fell short
• Industrial applications account for nearly 60% of demand; we see significant growth potential from electric vehicles and solar photovoltaics
• Platinum and palladium are critical metals for the automotive industry
• Palladium has been on a meteoric price rise since 2016
• Supplies of both metals are very constrained, while demand continues to grow
