Precious Metals Symposium
Thank you to everyone who attended and contibuted to the 2026 event
A sincere thank you to the precious metals industry leaders, institutional investors and traders who joined us in London for the inaugural FT Precious Metals Symposium 2026. Your participation helped make the event a valuable forum for examining the market forces, investment trends and opportunities shaping the future of precious metals.
Discussions explored gold's evolving role as a safe-haven asset, the impact of central bank buying and changing investor demand on precious metals markets. Industry experts examined the growing importance of gold in investment portfolios, the opportunities presented by digital and tokenised gold, and the outlook for silver and platinum group metals. The Symposium also addressed responsible sourcing, supply chain transparency and the challenges facing producers and investors in an increasingly complex global market.
