ABC NEWCASTLE MORNINGS – THE GOLD RUSH
I recently joined Paul Turton on ABC Newcastle to discuss the five key reasons behind why the price of gold has skyrocketing. The first reason being the volatility seen across the S&P 500, NASDAQ, ASX 200, and the Small Ordinaries Index. Additionally, interest rates in developing countries are declining – meaning investors are turning toward other assets (like gold). Thirdly, I highlight that gold is an inflation hedge, meaning its value tends to increase during periods of rising inflation. Geopolitical tensions across China/U.S. and in the Middle East are also a key reason as to why the price of gold is being driven up. And lastly, investors get a ‘fear of missing out’ and tend to invest in trends.
