Top 5 Reasons to Invest in Gold Products

By Dev

As the economy becomes more unpredictable, everyone from savvy billionaires and top financial institutions to Central Banks and governments around the world are choosing to buy precious metals and tangible assets such as gold products. In today’s economy, it makes perfect sense that gold ownership is rising, and here are five reasons why:

1. Gold is liquid and portable. The bullion markets are traded continuously across the world. Based on a live market price, there is no subjectivity and it can be sold at anytime, unlike other physical assets such as real estate.

2. Gold will never go broke. Unlike when you have stock in corporations, gold will never “go broke” or default on obligations. Therefore, the risk is much lower.

3. It can be stronger than paper currency. Central Banks around the world are increasingly using gold products to boost confidence in other more volatile currencies that are at risk for competitive devaluations. Throughout history, precious metals such as gold and silver have been less affected by occurrences in the stock market and other financial markets. In times of crises, gold has continuously increased in value, oftentimes significantly.

4. Gold products are not dependent on governments. Unlike most other currencies, gold is not created by any government, and therefore, its value is not dependent on any. Paper currencies from the dollars and euro to the pound, rupee, peso and yen are issued by their respective government and are backed only by its decree. Since governments tend to issue too much paper currency, their worth becomes less and less over time.

5.Central Banks and governments are increasingly buying gold. Less selling and more buying is going on, perhaps due to market demand or political pressure to return to a monetary system backed by precious metals.
