Gold FAQ
Gold has played an important role in human history as it is widely used as a medium of value and exchange. Apart from the gem's brilliance and usage, precious metals are now widely viewed as safe haven assets. In other words, it is considered a good investment in times of turbulence. Gold is also widely viewed as a hedge against inflation and depreciation currencies, as it is not dependent on a particular issuer or government.
The central bank is the largest holder of money. With the aim of supporting currency in turbulent times, central banks tend to buy gold to diversify reserves and improve the perceived strength of the economy and currency. High gold reserves provide a source of trust in the country's solvency. The central bank added 1,136 tonnes of gold to its bookings in 2022, worth around $70 billion, according to data from the World Gold Council. This is the best purchase every year since the record began. Central banks in emerging economies such as China, India and Türkiye are rapidly increasing their gold reserves.
Gold is inversely correlated with the US dollar and the US Treasury, both major reserve assets and safe haven assets. As the dollar depreciates, gold tends to rise, allowing investors and central banks to diversify their assets during turbulence. Gold is also inversely correlated with risk assets. While rallies in the stock market tend to weaken gold prices, selling in high-risk markets tends to favor valuable metals.
A wide range of factors allow prices to move. The fear of geopolitical instability or deep recession can quickly escalate gold prices due to their safe conditions. As an asset that does not yield, gold tends to rise at lower interest rates, but the cost of higher money usually weighs the yellow metal. Still, most movements depend on how the US dollar (USD) behaves, as the asset's price is in dollars (Xau/USD). Strong dollars tend to keep the price of gold down, while weaker dollars can push the price of gold up.
