Positive US inflation figures, according to DailyFX’s Diego Colman, fueled expectations that the Federal Reserve would loosen monetary policy earlier than expected, which helped precious metals and drove gold closer to its all-time high.
A Swiss bank analyst named Julius Baer stated that a rise in buyers’ willingness to pay explains why the demand for gold has not increased globally over the last ten years.
Except for China and Russia, which have elevated their gold purchases, all central banks that purchase US Treasury bonds have boosted their holdings of the metal since 2022. As a safeguard against systemic and economic threats in the financial markets, such as the US dollar becoming even more weaponized, gold is still valuable.
