Confidence and dynamism characterize the mood of the German-speaking precious metals market at the close of the specialized conference.<\/strong><\/p>

Frankfurt am Main, March 26, 2026<\/em>\u00a0\u2013 With a clear view of the tectonic shifts in global financial and commodity markets, the \u201eFuture Forum Precious Metals\u201c successfully concluded in Frankfurt on Tuesday, March 24, 2026. For two conference days, leading representatives from finance, industry, politics, and science discussed the most pressing challenges and opportunities in the precious metals sector. \u201eNever before have global interconnections been so complex \u2013 and never before has the need for well-founded exchange been as great as it is today,\u201c explained organizer Wolfgang Wrzesniok-Ro\u00dfbach at the opening of the Future Forum Precious Metals 2026.<\/p>

Geopolitics and macroeconomics shape the markets
<\/strong>To start, Ruth Crowell (LBMA) painted a picture of a continued highly liquid and stable gold market with enormous depth. At the same time, she illustrated how strongly geopolitical developments \u2013 such as trade conflicts and tariff policies \u2013 influence physical metal flows. Central banks remain a crucial demand factor in this context.<\/p>

In his keynote, Dr. J\u00fcrgen Michels (BayernLB) emphasized the exceptionally high uncertainty in the global environment. The world economy is increasingly shaped by structural megatrends (the \u201e6 Ds\u201c). Rising government debt and geopolitical tensions, in particular, pose significant risks to financial stability.<\/p>

Philipp Vorndran (Flossbach von Storch) spoke of a historic structural break: confidence in currencies is decreasing, while real assets like gold are gaining importance. At the same time, he also warned against unilateral allocations and emphasized the importance of broadly diversified portfolios.<\/p>

Precious Metals Between Demand Boom and Supply Shortages
<\/strong>John Reade (World Gold Council) spoke of gold as a central anchor of stability despite volatility in his presentation. At the same time, other speakers noted that strong industrial demand, particularly for silver, such as from solar and future technologies, is causing structural deficits.<\/p>

Platinum group metals are also increasingly coming into focus for industry and governments due to supply risks and their strategic importance.<\/p>

Digitalization is changing the market
<\/strong>The tokenization of gold has been highlighted as a possible future trend: it allows for global, fast, and flexible trading of physically backed assets. Additionally, exchange-traded products are continuing to gain importance.<\/p>

Raw Materials as a Key Geopolitical Resource
<\/strong>A key outcome of the conference: global competition for raw materials is intensifying. While China acts strategically and long-term, and the US uses raw materials geopolitically, Europe lacks speed and coordination, according to experts. Securing raw materials is increasingly becoming a question of economic sovereignty.<\/p>

Recycling, Industry, and ESG in Focus
<\/strong>One area of secure raw material supply is recycling. Here, innovations such as the recycling of photovoltaic modules, for example, open up new local raw material sources for silver. At the same time, industry representatives emphasized the growing importance of supply security.<\/p>

Overall, sustainability has definitively become a central factor: transparent supply chains and ESG standards are now a prerequisite for market access and financing.<\/p>

Conclusion: Industry in structural change
<\/strong>The conference shows: Precious metals remain essential for both financial stability and future technologies \u2013 however, in an increasingly complex and geopolitically influenced environment. \u201eThe future of precious metals will be decided at the intersection of politics, technology, and global cooperation. Those who do not think strategically here will be left behind,\u201c summarizes Wolfgang Wrzesniok-Ro\u00dfbach.<\/p>

Precious metals have become a strategically relevant portfolio component. While large institutional investors are significantly expanding their gold allocation, many family offices and asset managers remain underweighted - an opportunity to differentiate themselves. The Precious Metals Future Forum on March 23 and 24, 2026 will show how professionals can strategically exploit the precious metals boom.<\/p>","protected":false},"author":9,"featured_media":15555,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"full-width.php","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[173],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-15554","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-pressemitteilungen"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/zukunftsforum-edelmetalle.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/15554","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/zukunftsforum-edelmetalle.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/zukunftsforum-edelmetalle.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/zukunftsforum-edelmetalle.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/9"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/zukunftsforum-edelmetalle.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=15554"}],"version-history":[{"count":13,"href":"https:\/\/zukunftsforum-edelmetalle.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/15554\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":15571,"href":"https:\/\/zukunftsforum-edelmetalle.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/15554\/revisions\/15571"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/zukunftsforum-edelmetalle.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/15555"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/zukunftsforum-edelmetalle.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=15554"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/zukunftsforum-edelmetalle.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=15554"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/zukunftsforum-edelmetalle.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=15554"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
