In 2025, precious metals, particularly gold and silver, gained significant attention due to economic uncertainty, high tariffs, and geopolitical tensions. Inflation and elevated interest rates have driven investors toward these safe-haven assets. The S&P GSCI Precious Metals Index (SPGSPM) tracks futures contracts on gold and silver, primarily focusing on three-month contracts. The index operates under strict rules for futures inclusion, requiring participants to meet a total dollar value traded (TDVT) standard between $5 billion and $30 billion, with quarterly reviews to maintain eligibility.
