This year, KGHM and Orlen shares are among the most popular purchases by stock market investors. As a result, not only are the shares of these companies gaining in value, but they also send up stock market indices they represent. While the WIG20 index has risen by about 30 percent since the beginning of January, KGHM shares have risen by over 60 percent and Orlen shares by almost 90 percent. Growing interest in KGHM shares undoubtedly results from rising prices of metals it produces. Apart from copper, these include precious metals, led by silver and gold, whose prices have set new records in recent days. Many analysts, and even KGHM itself, point to geopolitical turmoil, among other factors, which continues to encourage investors to seek safe investments. Added to this is the insufficient supply of silver and increased demand for gold from central banks. (ICE VARSAVIA)
