Gold bars represent a symbol of safe investment: the price of gold on the global market has reached record levels. The price of gold recently exceeded $4,000 per ounce, for the first time in history, confirming gold’s status as one of the most valuable safe assets of today. This historic record has attracted the attention of investors around the world and raised the question: what is behind such a dramatic rise in the value of gold? Below, we analyze the main reasons for this trend and explain why many experts believe that now is the right time to invest in gold.

Why Did the Price of Gold Break a Record?

One of the key reasons for the sharp rise in the price of gold is uncertainty on a global level. In the United States, there was recently a partial government shutdown, which shook the confidence of financial markets. Such political uncertainty has encouraged investors to seek refuge in safe assets like gold. Similar concern is caused by broader fiscal instability in some of the world’s leading economies. High public debts and budget deficits in countries such as the USA, the United Kingdom, France, and Japan create concern about the sustainability of traditional financial instruments, which further increases the appeal of gold. Political and economic turbulence – from budget problems in France to instability in Japan – only adds fuel to the fire and directs capital toward gold as a safe haven.

Another important factor is the expected lowering of interest rates by the major central banks, especially the American Federal Reserve. On the markets, there is a belief that the Federal Reserve is close to the beginning of a new cycle of monetary easing – that is, reducing the benchmark interest rates. Such expectations have a direct impact on gold: when interest rates fall, gold becomes more attractive because the returns on savings and bonds decrease, making the opportunity cost of holding gold lower compared to other investments. In other words, in a low-interest environment, investors don’t “miss out” on high interest by moving part of their portfolio into gold. Additionally, the fear of inflation and weakening currency values due to fiscal imbalances also motivates investors to turn to gold as protection against the loss of purchasing power.

StandardPrva Recommends Portfolio Diversification

Given all of the above, StandardPrva advises that now is the ideal moment to diversify portfolios with investments in gold. Throughout history, gold has proven to be a reliable protection in times of economic upheaval – its value often rises when the value of other investments falls. Experts remind us that gold usually moves in the opposite direction of stock market indices, which means it can soften risks and losses in a portfolio during market disruptions. By investing part of the portfolio in gold, the effect of a “safe harbor” is achieved, preserving asset value and bringing peace of mind to investors when markets are unpredictable.

Of course, for our clients and all interested citizens, the question arises of how to practically invest in gold in a simple and safe way. This is where StandardPrva steps in – investing in gold through our digital platform is fast and secure, allowing you to take advantage of the current market situation without complications.
