Bullion

Investing in bullion—physical precious metals such as gold, silver, platinum, and other metals in the form of bars or coins—is a straightforward way to hold tangible assets that are valued globally and independent of financial institutions. Bullion is often used as a hedge against inflation, currency devaluation, and economic instability, making it appealing during uncertain market conditions. Unlike paper assets, it carries no counterparty risk, but it does require secure storage.
