Gold FAQs

Why do people invest in Gold?

Gold has played a key role in human’s history as it has been widely used as a store of value and medium of exchange. Currently, apart from its shine and usage for jewelry, the precious metal is widely seen as a safe-haven asset, meaning that it is considered a good investment during turbulent times. Gold is also widely seen as a hedge against inflation and against depreciating currencies as it doesn’t rely on any specific issuer or government.

Who buys the most Gold?

Central banks are the biggest Gold holders. In their aim to support their currencies in turbulent times, central banks tend to diversify their reserves and buy Gold to improve the perceived strength of the economy and the currency. High Gold reserves can be a source of trust for a country’s solvency. Central banks added 1,136 tonnes of Gold worth around $70 billion to their reserves in 2022, according to data from the World Gold Council. This is the highest yearly purchase since records began. Central banks from emerging economies such as China, India and Turkey are quickly increasing their Gold reserves.

How is Gold correlated with other assets?

Gold has an inverse correlation with the US Dollar and US Treasuries, which are both major reserve and safe-haven assets. When the Dollar depreciates, Gold tends to rise, enabling investors and central banks to diversify their assets in turbulent times. Gold is also inversely correlated with risk assets. A rally in the stock market tends to weaken Gold price, while sell-offs in riskier markets tend to favor the precious metal.

What does the price of Gold depend on?

The price can move due to a wide range of factors. Geopolitical instability or fears of a deep recession can quickly make Gold price escalate due to its safe-haven status. As a yield-less asset, Gold tends to rise with lower interest rates, while higher cost of money usually weighs down on the yellow metal. Still, most moves depend on how the US Dollar (USD) behaves as the asset is priced in dollars (XAU/USD). A strong Dollar tends to keep the price of Gold controlled, whereas a weaker Dollar is likely to push Gold prices up.

USD/JPY: Japanese Yen tumbles as Fed signals higher rate path

The Japanese Yen depreciated against the US Dollar on Wednesday after the US Federal Reserve delivered a hawkish hold, with most officials expecting one rate hike towards the end of the year, while the new Fed Chair, Warsh, reiterated the Fed’s commitment to achieving the 2% inflation goal. At the time of writing, the USD/JPY trades at 160.66 after bouncing off the daily low of 160.11.

AUD/USD folds to a hawkish Fed with no data to lean on

The Australian Dollar went into Kevin Warsh's first Federal Reserve decision as a high-beta currency with no domestic shield, and it paid for it. AUD/USD had been holding above 0.7050 ahead of the announcement and fell close to 80 pips in the reaction, slicing through 0.7050 and briefly breaking the 0.7000 handle to a session low just beneath it before clawing back above the figure.

Gold extends intraday slide towards $4,250

Gold turned negative by the end of Wednesday and trades in the $4,260 price zone. The US Federal Reserve left rates unchanged, but delivered a hawkish message, even though Chair Kevin Warsh refused to provide forward guidance.

Bitcoin remains under bearish pressure despite recent rebound — Glassnode

Bitcoin remains well below key onchain metrics, with realized losses continuing to dominate capital flows despite a partial price recovery. The top crypto rebounded from lows near $60,000 to the $65,000 range after the US-Iran peace deal reversed much of the war premium that had weighed on risk assets.

Why a hawkish RBA is no longer enough to lift the Australian Dollar

The Reserve Bank of Australia delivered more than what markets expected: a hawkish hold that should have supported the Aussie. But markets widely ignored it, focusing instead on slowing economic growth and proving that central bank messaging alone isn’t always enough to drive currencies.
