If there’s one standout asset this year, it’s gold. Geopolitical tensions and ongoing market uncertainty have driven investors toward this traditional safe haven, pushing gold prices to record highs. Central banks, too, continue to show a strong appetite for the yellow metal. 

But gold isn’t the only metal capturing investors’ attention. 

Copper, long critical to global infrastructure, is seeing renewed interest. The transition to green energy and the rise of electric vehicles have driven demand, and recent tariff threats from Donald Trump have only accelerated copper price increases. 

Lithium and nickel, key components in EV batteries, have experienced strong price volatility. Nonetheless, many investors see nickel as an especially attractive opportunity. 

And as gold prices surge, investors are turning to other precious metals. As the Financial Times recently put it: “Silver and platinum prices soar as investors seek ‘gold alternatives.’”
