Gold has historically been a safe-haven asset, often sought after during turbulent times as a hedge against inflation and currency depreciation. Central banks, particularly those in emerging economies like China, India, and Turkey, have been increasing their gold reserves to support their currencies.
The price of gold is influenced by various factors, including geopolitical instability, interest rates, and the strength of the US Dollar. A weaker Dollar typically pushes gold prices up, while a stronger Dollar tends to keep them controlled.
