Alongside its aesthetic appeal and use in jewelry, it is increasingly recognized as a hedge against inflation and currency devaluation. Central banks are the largest gold holders, often purchasing it to bolster their currencies during crises.

In 2022, central banks from emerging economies, including China, India, and Turkey, added 1,136 tonnes of gold worth approximately $70 billion to their reserves. The value of gold is influenced by various factors, including its inverse relationship with the US Dollar and US Treasuries, and its inverse relationship with risk assets.

Geopolitical instability, fears of recession, and changes in interest rates also impact gold prices, as it is priced in US Dollars.
