Advantages of Gold
Gold is the biggest market of all the precious metals, due to its exceptional value storage properties and numerous industrial uses. It is often viewed as a ‘safe-haven’ for investment and is most demanded during times of economic uncertainty. Gold is typically included in the portfolio of investors seeking diversification and is an exciting instrument for traders, due to its high volatility and powerful trends.
Inflation protection
At times of highest inflation, gold tends to remain at least stable, so anyone worried about inflation typically considers buying gold.
Diversification
Gold is an excellent way to add a bit of stability to an investment portfolio as it cannot be substantially devalued, unlike currencies or stocks.
Crisis immunity
Gold is immune to geopolitical crises and tends to resist dramatic swings in currency values and stock market prices.
Volatility
As many commodity markets, gold is quite volatile in the short term. Additionally, substantial price spikes occur every few years when the demand for gold outpaces availability.
