After the phenomenal rise in price to around US$4,400 per ounce, the question now arises as to whether the current price of less than US$4,000 should be used for gold investments. Over the year as a whole, the price of gold is still up by more than 50 percent. Profit-taking and fears that gold was overbought do not change the long-term positive outlook for the precious metal. This is because the factors that drove the price so strongly are still in place, be it problems in the US government (shutdown) or trade disputes. Gold will continue to be sought after as a safe haven, as it has been in the past.

Many analysts also believe that the price of gold will rise overall, with every setback representing a buying opportunity. The Fed will ease its monetary policy, but the specter of inflation still looms, so interest rate cuts are likely to cause real interest rates to fall, which would be good for the price of gold. As a result, quite a few analysts expect new record prices in the new year. Not only is inflation not rising sharply, but pressure on the central bank – the US president wants lower interest rates – also argues in favor of interest rate cuts. And geopolitical crises continue. A similarly sharp rise in the price of the precious metal occurred in 1979, when there were crises in Iran and Afghanistan.

At that time, inflation in the US was in double digits. In 2008, when the financial crisis shook the world, the price of gold also rose sharply, breaking through the magical US$1,000 mark for the first time. Those who want to get started with a broad diversification of gold investments can look at royalty companies.
