Gold Faqs

Gold has played a key role in human history, since it was widely used as a value memory and medium of the exchange. Apart from its gloss and use for jewelry, the precious metal is currently widely regarded as a safe asset, which means that it is considered a good investment in turbulent times. Gold is also widely regarded as protection against inflation and against written currencies, since it is not dependent on a certain issuer or a certain government.

Central banks are the largest gold owners. In their goal of supporting their currencies in turbulent times, central banks tend to diversify their reserves and buy gold in order to improve the perceived strength of the economy and currency. High gold reserves can be a source of trust for the solvency of a country. According to the World Gold Council, the central banks added 1,136 tons of gold worth around 70 billion US dollars in 2022. This is the highest annual purchase since the start of the records. Central banks from emerging countries such as China, India and Turkey quickly increase their gold reserves.

Gold has a reverse correlation with the US dollar and the US state bonds, which are both the main reserve and the Safe-Haven assets. When the dollar devalues, the gold tends to rise and enables investors and central banks to diversify their assets in turbulent times. Conversely, gold correlates with the risk assets. A rally on the stock exchange tends to increase the gold price, while the sale in riskier markets favors the precious metal.

The price can move due to a variety of factors. Geopolitical instability or fears of a deep recession can quickly escalate the gold price due to its safe-have status. As a favorable capital, the gold tends to increase with lower interest rates, while higher money costs usually strain the yellow metal. Nevertheless, most of the movements depend on how the US dollar (USD) behaves as the asset evaluates in dollars (XAU/USD). A strong dollar means that the gold price is checked, while a weaker dollar is likely to increase gold prices.
