Schroders Investment Insights: The Case for Gold in 2024 Schroders Investment Insights highlights a remarkable trend in the gold market: despite the significant rise in real interest rates in the US over 2022 and 2023, gold prices have remained near all-time highs, currently around US$2000 per ounce. This trend breaks the conventional pattern where gold prices typically fall with rising interest rates and positive real rates on government bonds. Schroders attributes this anomaly to a shift in gold’s behavior post-2008 Global Financial Crisis. Following the crisis, quantitative easing policies and concerns over long-term monetary debasement strengthened gold’s appeal as a monetary asset rather than just a commodity. « Previous Article Next Article » Share This Article Choose Your Platform: Facebook Twitter Google Plus Linkedin Related Posts The Scene of THE CRIME READ MORE Leading Economic Index Suggests U.S. Recession Fears Receding READ MORE S&P 500 Nears Worst Month in Over a Year as Rising Yields Signal Inflation Concerns READ MORE Zimbabwe Introduces ZiG: A New Currency Backed by Gold READ MORE Markets on Edge: Continuing Coverage of Regional Banking Crisis READ MORE Add a Comment Cancel replyYour email address will not be published.
