Gold emerged as one of the best asset classes in 2024 with its strongest annual performance in over a decade, rising 27%. This rally has been driven by a combination of central bank and investor demand, lower real yields, and heightened geopolitical risks. As the global economy enters a new phase shaped by protectionist trade policies, potential tariffs, and geopolitical uncertainty under a renewed Trump administration, the case for gold as a safe-haven investment remains robust.

Why Gold is Gaining Momentum

• Geopolitical and Economic Uncertainty
  With global markets facing protectionist policies, trade tensions, and currency fluctuations, gold continues to be a safe-haven asset. Historically, gold has performed well during periods of economic instability, offering investors security in uncertain times.
  
  
• Central Banks Are Buying
  For the 15th consecutive year, central banks have been increasing their gold reserves to diversify away from the US dollar. In November 2024 alone, more than 53 tonnes of gold were purchased, reinforcing its importance as a key financial asset.
  
  
• Monetary Policy Shifts and a Weakening US Dollar
  As central banks move toward looser monetary policies, real yields are expected to decline, making gold even more attractive. At the same time, a weakening US dollar boosts gold’s value, as it becomes cheaper for international buyers.

Gold’s Role in a Balanced Portfolio 

Gold is more than just a commodity—it’s a key diversification tool. Historically, it has shown a low correlation with equities and bonds, meaning it can help balance risk in a portfolio. In 2022, when global equities declined by 20%, gold delivered gains, reinforcing its role as a stabilizing asset.

With multiple ways to gain exposure—including physical gold, ETFs, and gold mining equities—investors have options to capitalize on gold’s strength.
