Gold has long been valued as a store of value and a safe-haven asset, particularly during turbulent times. Central banks, including those in emerging economies like China, India, and Turkey, have been increasing their gold reserves to support their currencies and economies.

The price of gold is influenced by various factors, including geopolitical instability, interest rates, and the strength of the US Dollar. When the Dollar weakens, gold prices tend to rise, offering investors and central banks a way to diversify their assets.
