Metals

The metal is mirror-white in color. It refers to precious metals along with gold. Silver quotes are highly volatile.

Aluminum is a silver—white metal with high electrical and thermal conductivity. The advantages of aluminum and its alloys include its low density, high strength characteristics, good thermal and electrical conductivity, corrosion resistance. Due to the combination of these properties, aluminum is one of the most important technical materials.

The element belongs to transition metals and to the noble metals of the platinum group. Under normal conditions it is a silvery-white ductile metal.One of the rarest elements in the earth's crust. It occurs natively, in the form of intermetallic minerals and other compounds. There are about 30 known palladium minerals. It accompanies other platinum metals, its content in the mixture of platinoids in various deposits ranges from 25 to 60%.Currently, the largest (not developed) palladium deposit in Russia is located in the Murmansk region (Fedorovo-Pansky intrusive massif).Other large deposits of palladium are located in Russia (Norilsk, Talnakh), Transvaal (South Africa), Canada, Alaska, Australia, Colombia.

Gold is an essential element of the global financial system, has many areas of technical application, while its reserves and production volumes are limited. Gold acts as an international reserve financial instrument, almost all banks in the world keep it as a protective asset and a source of liquidity.

Nickel is a malleable and malleable metal, the thinnest sheets and tubes can be made from it. Nickel belongs to the most important magnetic materials and alloys with a minimum value of the coefficient of thermal expansion.

Copper is a golden—pink plastic metal, which is quickly covered with an oxide film in the air, which gives it a characteristic intense yellowish-red hue. Thin films of copper on the lumen have a greenish-blue color. It belongs to the group of industrial metals.

Gold to euro ratio.

The index shows which number of ounces of silver is equivalent to one ounce of gold. It helps to understand whether any of the two metals is overvalued or undervalued. The ratio between them may indicate an increase in demand for industrial metals or the approach of a global economic downturn or recession.

Zinc is a brittle transition metal of bluish—white color. Pure metallic zinc is used for the recovery of precious metals extracted by underground leaching (gold, silver). It is used to protect steel from corrosion.

Platinum is a dense, plastic silver-white metal. Metal refers to precious metals. Its name comes from the Spanish term platino, meaning "little silver".
