International Gold Prices Rise Amidst Global Economic Uncertainty
London, United Kingdom – March 8, 2023: Gold prices have surged to their highest level in over eight months as investors seek safe-haven assets amidst heightened global economic uncertainty.
According to Kitco Metals, the benchmark price of gold reached $2,070.20 per troy ounce on Wednesday, March 8, a gain of over 2% from the previous day. This is the highest level for gold since July 2022.
The surge in gold prices is largely attributed to the ongoing war in Ukraine, rising inflation, and concerns about a potential global recession. Investors are flocking to gold as a store of value and a hedge against economic volatility.
“Gold has always been a safe-haven asset, and in times of uncertainty, investors tend to buy gold,” said Adrian Ash, director of research at BullionVault. “The current geopolitical and economic turmoil is creating a lot of uncertainty, which is driving up demand for gold.”
In addition to the global economic uncertainty, the rise in gold prices is also being fueled by strong physical demand from central banks and retail investors. Central banks have been increasing their gold reserves in recent years, while retail investors have been buying gold bars and coins as a way to protect their wealth.
Analysts believe that the current strength in gold prices could continue for some time. The ongoing war in Ukraine, rising inflation, and concerns about a global recession are likely to keep investors seeking safe-haven assets.
“We believe that the gold market is still in a bull market, and we expect prices to continue to rise in the coming months,” said Goldmoney analyst Alasdair Macleod. “Gold is a long-term investment, and it is one of the best ways to protect your wealth in times of economic uncertainty.”
