Gold, a highly valued precious metal, has maintained its significance for centuries and plays a vital role in the global economy.
Its value stems from its scarcity, durability, and widespread appeal. Frequently regarded as a safe-haven asset, gold is employed to preserve wealth during times of economic instability.
Central banks and investors maintain gold reserves to diversify their investment portfolios and protect against inflation and currency value fluctuations.
The price of gold depends on a wide range of factors. Geopolitical instability or fears of a deep recession can quickly make gold rates escalate due to its safe-haven status.
As a yield-less asset, gold tends to rise with lower interest rates, while the higher cost of money usually weighs down on the yellow metal.
