Invest In Gold Or Not.

Investing in Gold.



Gold futures prices are currently 36% higher compared to the price a year ago, cnbc reported.


The article said:


Gold futures prices are also up about 10% year-to-date and currently 36% higher compared to the price a year ago. 

What is behind the rising prices of gold?


Two reasons stand out:

1. The rising global inflation rate. It’s a common practice by many investors to buy gold and use it as a good inflation hedge.

2. U.S. sanctions on Russia. U.S. sanctions on Russia date back to 2022. These sanctions have been the boost for higher returns on gold for at least a year now.

Would global headline inflation continue to rise or would it fall in 2025?

 

IMF said that it is expected to decline.


The bank said:

Global headline inflation is expected to decline to 4.2 percent in 2025 and to 3.5 percent in 2026, converging back to target earlier in advanced economies than in emerging market and developing economies.

Would US lift sanctions on Russia?

U.S. President Donald Trump said on Feb. 25 during a press briefing at the White House. That sanctions against Russia will be lifted "at some point," 

So, should you as an investor invest in gold now?

The decision to invest in gold should be underlined by pessimism because of the uncertainty about the future.

Why is it important to trust each other?

  We lose more by having the habit of not trusting until we have a reason than by choosing to trust first before a reason not to trust any more shows up. Choosing the latter, yes, would lead to unpleasant consequences when those you trust for no reason disappoints. But at least, it would leave the doors to the heart on both ends open, until the heart finds someone trustworthy enough to keep. On the contrary, choosing not trust at all until you have a reason to trust is sure going to make you suspicious of everyone you meet at the first time.  The suspicion could also, lay the foundation to stereotype those who don’t fit into the culture of those you call, “mind”. Suspicion and stereotyping have caused a lot of people to lose opportunities to make great friends and find great team mates to complete them and help them realize their dreams.  It’s not easy for people with difficult-to-trust attitude to change and move in the opposite direction. Making the transition takes t...
