In cases where an asset is in the midst a strong rally, investors are typically gripped with the fear that they already missed out on the major move. That doesn't appear to be the case with gold, which should be approached with a strategic allocation strategy in mind as opposed to simply chasing gains.

Consider how gold has performed as of late. It shouldn't come as a surprise that interest in silver hasn't been as strong.

The Federal Reserve's recent rate cut of 25 basis points could amplify gold's current rally. Prices have already broken through the $3,700 price mark, and another record high could hinge upon how aggressive rate cuts will be in the coming months.

The prospect of interest rate cuts this month and through the rest of the year is elevating prices for gold, but silver is also benefiting. The precious/industrial metal crossed the $40 price mark in the first week of September, which it hasn't done since 2011.

ETFs tied to Cannabis, Asia, China, materials and bitcoin miners led August's gains in Wall Street. ETFs like WEED, KSTR, CNXT, GBUG and WGMI won in August.

Central banks' willingness to buy more precious metals should help buoy prices for both gold and silver. Around the globe, central banks continue to quench their thirst for both, providing investment opportunities in ETFs with exposure to both metals.

Precious metals ETFs can resist inflation and deliver enticing long-term returns if the economy remains strong. These are some of the top precious metals ETFs that can deliver competitive returns.
