As a third-generation jeweler, he&#8217;s witnessed their reliability throughout economic cycles.<\/p>\n<p>Henry Yoshida, a certified financial planner and co-founder of Rocket Dollar, a Texas-based financial services company, echoes that outlook. &#8220;Gold and silver will play a strategic role in an investor&#8217;s portfolio before 2026, especially with elevated global debt levels and continued inflation pressures,&#8221; he says.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/secure.money.com\/pr\/p1c50dc5b41f?s1=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.cbsnews.com%2Fnews%2Fshould-you-invest-in-gold-and-silver-before-2026-what-experts-think\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow, sponsored, noopener\">Get started with gold and silver and start diversifying your portfolio now<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Why investors are buying gold and silver right now<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Before deciding whether to invest, it helps to understand what&#8217;s driving demand for precious metals. Experts say these forces are pushing prices higher today:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Historical uncertainty patterns:<\/strong> Michael Firestone, partner at boutique investment company Fire Capital Management, notes we&#8217;ve only seen surges like this before major crises (e.g., 2008, before World War II). &#8220;Heightened global tensions lead investors to feel uneasy and move capital into perceived safer, more stable assets,&#8221; he emphasizes.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Central bank buying:<\/strong> Countries have been shifting reserves away from traditional currencies and into gold. And with supply constraints in play, gold costs continue to climb.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Inflation concerns:<\/strong> Even as official numbers moderate, many investors worry about long-term purchasing power. Yoshida observes that investors are choosing safety over yields that keep shifting to <span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/why-you-should-buy-gold-during-inflation\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">hedge against inflation<\/a><\/span>.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Market risks: <\/strong>Ross points to tech stocks dominating at unprecedented levels. Combined with geopolitical tensions, precious metals offer a hedge that doesn&#8217;t depend on any single sector performing well.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><strong>What to consider before investing in precious metals<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>While the case for precious metals looks compelling, there are practical realities to weigh before investing. Remember that &#8220;metals can protect purchasing power, but they don&#8217;t generate income,&#8221; Yoshida says. Beyond that, experts point to three key considerations:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Keep allocation modest. <\/strong>Firestone and Yoshida recommend keeping precious metals <span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/how-much-should-you-invest-in-gold\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">5% to 10% of your portfolio<\/a><\/span>. That provides meaningful protection without derailing broader financial goals.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Consider dollar-cost averaging. <\/strong>Rather than investing a lump sum at today&#8217;s elevated prices, Firestone advises spreading purchases over time to reduce timing risk.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Understand that silver is more volatile.<\/strong> As investors age, Roach suggests shifting toward higher gold concentration in a metals allocation.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><strong>How to invest in physical metals, ETFs and gold IRAs<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Once you&#8217;ve decided to invest, you&#8217;ll need to choose how.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Exchange-traded funds (ETFs) are the best option for most investors,&#8221; says Firestone. They&#8217;re liquid and track gold prices without <span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/best-practices-for-storing-physical-gold-safely-what-investors-need-to-know\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">storage<\/a><\/span> or insurance hassles. Gold or silver bars or coins give you direct ownership. However, Roach cautions you&#8217;ll pay premiums for manufacturing and shipping, plus handle security yourself.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/what-is-a-gold-ira\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">Gold individual retirement accounts (IRAs)<\/a><\/span> offer another route. Yoshida explains they combine tax advantages with tangible asset exposure, making them attractive for retirement planning. Some investors also consider <span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/what-are-gold-stocks\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">gold mining stocks<\/a><\/span>. But they require more research due to the operational risks involved.<\/p>\n<p>The right choice depends on your priorities around liquidity, storage and tax treatment. Yoshida adds that precious metals work best as long-term holdings, not short-term plays. They&#8217;re not suitable if you need income or quick access to cash.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>The bottom line<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Gold and silver can be valuable in a <span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/how-does-gold-diversify-your-portfolio\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">diversified portfolio<\/a><\/span> heading into 2026. Yoshida notes that they&#8217;ve performed well during previous inflationary periods in which currency was devalued. Before investing, though, consider consulting a financial advisor specializing in precious metals. They can help you determine the right allocation for your goals and choose between physical metals, ETFs or <span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/best-gold-ira-companies-and-investing-advice\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">IRAs<\/a><\/span> based on your needs.<\/p>\n<section class=\"content__body--footer\">\n<p class=\"content__meta--editors\">\n      Edited by<\/p>\n<p>                                  <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/team\/matt-richardson\/\" class=\"byline__author__link\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">Matt  Richardson<\/a>\n                      <\/p>\n<\/section>\n<section class=\"content__body--footer\">\n      <!-- tags --><br \/>\n    <\/section>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-6606220950177433\"\r\n     crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script>\r\n<!-- ItShrt World News -->\r\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n     style=\"display:block\"\r\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-6606220950177433\"\r\n     data-ad-slot=\"1882483372\"\r\n     data-ad-format=\"auto\"\r\n     data-full-width-responsive=\"true\"><\/ins>\r\n<script>\r\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n<\/script>\r\n<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/should-you-invest-in-gold-and-silver-before-2026-what-experts-think\/\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Gold and silver investments could protect your portfolio heading into 2026. matejmo\/Getty Images Gold and silver prices have both surpassed<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":56857,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[32],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-56856","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-top-stories"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v24.2 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Should you invest in gold and silver before 2026?
