Gold FAQs

  1. Gold is valued as a store of wealth thanks to scarcity, durability, and universal acceptance—unlike fiat that can be printed.
  2. It’s seen as a safe haven because it tends to hold value during inflation, market stress, or geopolitical shocks.
  3. Prices are driven by supply/demand, bullion and futures market liquidity, the US dollar, and interest-rate expectations.
  4. Physical gold means bars/coins/jewelry; “paper” gold covers futures, ETFs, or certificates tracking price without custody.
  5. Central banks hold gold to diversify reserves and bolster monetary stability as a neutral, credit-risk–free asset.
