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 How & Where to Buy Silver Coins [2024 Buyers Guide] READ MORE Central Bank of Ireland Bolsters Economic Security by Doubling Gold Reserves READ MORE Layoffs rise to the highest for any February since 2009, Challenger says READ MORE Fed’s Waller still sees ‘no rush’ to cut rates amid sticky inflation data READ MORE Add a Comment Cancel replyYour email address will not be published.
