Supply of Rare and Precious Metals Will Remain Tight Despite Growing Demand from Manufacturers and Investors

Falls Church, VA, January 21, 2012 --(PR.com)-- As evidenced by the recent sovereign debt crisis in Europe, central banks around the globe are pursuing policies of quantitative easing (QE) in efforts to reinvigorate their faltering economic recoveries. Government fiscal authorities now find themselves in the predicament of having to devalue their currencies in order to inflate away the national debt. Analysts predict that the flood of liquidity will inevitably result in inflation, which is likely to push up prices of rare and precious metals in coming months.

At the same time, rare metals are also finding increased usage in consumer products. In today’s integrated, high-tech world, rare metals can be found in some of the most important products including handheld devices, batteries, televisions, computers, and many more products that rely on the unique chemical properties of rare metals.

The dual use of rare metals as currency hedges and industrial components is putting significant pressure on the demand for commodities such as gold and platinum. At the same time, the scarcity of these metals is making it difficult for producers to increase supply of these metals at the same pace as the growth in demand.

The findings are the result of an ongoing investigation into the rare and precious metals market by industry analysts, Yiannis Mostrous, Elliott Gue and Roger Conrad, for their investment advisory service, Global Investment Strategist. The findings are summarized in their new report, Top Rare Metals Stocks– one of the 13 special investment advisory reports currently available for free on Investing Daily.

“We felt that the rare and precious metals markets are poorly understood by many investors. We wanted to provide individual investors with a comprehensive guide that will allow them to invest confidently in such an important and lucrative market,” said Yiannis Mostrous.

The report details the dynamics of the gold, platinum group metals, and lithium markets, and names the individual companies and precious metals ETF that the investment analysts believe will outperform the market in the coming months. “We wanted to educate the investment public about the macroeconomic conditions in these markets, but we also wanted to give them actionable advice that they could profit from, which is why we included five stock picks in the report as well,” added Roger Conrad.
