Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
While precious metals chemically sit within the same family, in economic and financial terms they span a broad spectrum. Platinum, palladium and rhodium are used heavily in industry, gold is primarily an investment asset whether bought as jewelry or held in exchange traded fund, with silver sitting somewhere in between those two extremes.
This Special Issue focuses on analyzing the diverse features of precious metals markets around the world, as well as the uses and financial characteristics of this group of commodities for both investors and risk managers. They are frequently discussed essentially as diversifiers and safe havens from market turmoil. However, as these assets become more commonly held by investors across the world and within institutional portfolios, we welcome new perspectives on their evolving local markets and the roles they now play as an asset class in the broader financial system.
We invite theoretical and empirical articles discussing these issues, especially those studies including developing precious metals markets such as China, India, and Turkey within them. If you would like to discuss anything in relation to this Special Issue, please feel free to contact me.
Dr. Fergal A. O'Connor
Guest Editor
