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 Stronger Jobs Data Triggers Over 2% Decline in Gold Prices READ MORE Illicit Gold Trade from Africa to UAE Exceeds $23 Billion Annually READ MORE Fed's Bowman Urges Caution: Inflation Risks Persist, Rate Cuts Premature READ MORE Despite Temporary Lull, China's Gold Buying Spree Far From Over, Say Insiders READ MORE Chinese Gold Trading EXPLODES READ MORE Add a Comment Cancel replyYour email address will not be published.
