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 Declining Yen: A Look into Its Battle Against the Dollar READ MORE Fed Chair Jerome Powell Projects Optimism, But Inflation Data Are in the Driver’s Seat READ MORE Fed shifts talk to ‘scenarios’ as policy grows less certain READ MORE Markets on Edge: Continuing Coverage of Regional Banking Crisis READ MORE Add a Comment Cancel replyYour email address will not be published.
