Gold has been highly valued as a precious metal for thousands of years, and it is used in jewelry, investment, and as a form of currency. Silver is also used in jewelry and investment, but it also has industrial applications due to its high thermal and electrical conductivity. Platinum and palladium are primarily used in catalytic converters in vehicles to reduce emissions, but they also have applications in jewelry and investment.

Precious metals are typically mined from underground or extracted from other ores, and their supply is limited, making them highly valuable. The prices of precious metals are subject to market fluctuations and are influenced by factors such as supply and demand, geopolitical events, and inflation.
