Gold has historically been used as a store of value and medium of exchange, and it is seen as a safe-haven asset in turbulent times. Central banks are the largest holders of gold, often increasing their reserves during economic uncertainty to stabilize their currencies. In 2022, central banks from emerging economies like China, India, and Turkey added 1,136 tonnes of gold worth around $70 billion to their reserves, the highest annual purchase since records began.

Gold has an inverse correlation with the US Dollar and US Treasuries, and a weaker dollar typically leads to higher gold prices. The precious metal's price can also fluctuate due to geopolitical factors, interest rates, and overall investor sentiment. Currently, gold is consolidating its recent rebound from an eight-week low, trading below $4,200 as investors anticipate upcoming economic data releases.
