What's Driving Gold's Record Price Surge

Tell us about the primary drivers behind gold's recent price surge to record highs. Do you believe these factors remain in place going forward?

It's really about the same story that you would expect out of gold. Gold tends to perform well during periods of uncertainty, whether it's economic or geopolitical. Falling interest rates and central bank buying have been bullish for gold and really pushing prices higher.

Particularly as we see countries moving away from the US dollar to a period of de-dollarization, that's been pushing gold prices higher. When you start to look at the yield curve, you're starting to see a steepening that's happening, which is an indication that investors are starting to lose some of the faith in central banks, and that's a positive indicator for higher gold prices going forward.
