Gold’s rally is no longer just about fear
Gold has surpassed $5,000 per ounce, rising over 17% this year. This rally is notable for its consistency; gold gains even as markets fluctuate. Central banks initiated it, but now ETF inflows show wider investor interest for diversification and returns. Gold is shifting from an emergency asset to a strategic portfolio component.
