Precious metals have shown a very mixed performance in 2022. And if not for the last quarter of the year, the results would have been very different.

The price of platinum precious metals performed the best, up nearly 11% year-over-year:

Spot platinum started 2022 at about $965 an ounce and ended at about $1,068 an ounce. Spot silver opened last year at $23.28 an ounce, and ended the year at $23.93 an ounce. Spot gold at the beginning of 2022 was worth about $1,828 an ounce, and finished just above $1,822 an ounce. And spot palladium started at about $1,902 an ounce and ended in 2022 at about $1,790 an ounce.
