Gold sub -procurement
Gold has played an important role in human history as it has been widely used as a reserves of value and exchange. Currently, in addition to its brightness and use for jewelry, precious metal is widely seen as a safe-hevan property, which means that it is considered a good investment during turbulent time. Gold is also widely seen against inflation and against depreciation of currencies because it does not trust a specific issuer or government.
The central bank is the largest gold holder. In its purpose of supporting their currencies in turbulent times, the central banks have a tendency to diversify their reserves and to buy gold to improve their stores and improve the alleged strength of the economy and currency. High gold reserves can be a source of trust for a country solvency. According to World Gold Council data, central banks added 1,136 tonnes of gold worth about $ 70 billion to their reserves in 2022. This is the highest annual purchase since the records begin. Central banks of emerging economies like China, India and Türkiye are quickly increasing their gold reserves.
Gold has an inverted correlation with US dollar and American Treasury, both major reserves and safe-huge assets. When the dollar depreciates, the gold increases, causing investors and central banks to diversify their assets in turbulent times. Sleeping with gold property is also contrary to the opposite. A rally in the stock market weakens the price of gold, while selling in risky markets is in favor of precious metal.
A wide range of factors may lead to the price further due to a wide range of factors. The possibility of geopolitical instability or a deep recession may quickly increase the price of gold, which increases due to its safe-heaven position. As a yield-less property, gold increases with low interest rates, while the high cost of money is usually low on yellow metal. Nevertheless, most of the moves depend on how the US dollar (USD) behaves because the property is priced at dollars (XAU/USD). A strong dollar goes to control the price of gold, while gold is likely to increase gold prices in a weak dollar.
