Gold has demonstrated strong performance in 2024, driven by a combination of inflationary pressures, geopolitical uncertainties, and central bank policies, particularly in response to persistent inflation and rising interest rates. Gold continues to be regarded as a safe-haven asset, attracting significant investment amid prevailing economic uncertainty and elevated market volatility.

Demand for gold, both in physical form and through gold-backed exchange-traded funds (ETFs), has remained robust, as the asset is perceived as an effective hedge against market instability. The outlook for gold remains favorable, with continued appeal expected due to ongoing global economic risks, although short-term price fluctuations may be influenced by shifts in interest rates and geopolitical developments.

Gold prices have risen by more than 30% year-to-date. Considering the upcoming uncertainty that could accompany Donald Trump's presidential run as the 47th president of the United States, gold can be used as a hedge against it.
