Gold Can Buffer Investors Against Uncertainty Risks

Precious metals such as gold have allowed individuals to preserve the value of their holdings during periods of economic upheaval for decades.

Global economic circumstances in recent years have caused the demand for gold as a store of value to increase amid inflation, fears of recession and weakening currencies. Gold saw its demand increase dramatically toward the end of 2022 when several…
