Gold prices can have sudden ups and down just like other commodities but it is also known to go through long periods of time with relatively quiet price activity. Overall, gold is viewed by many financial experts as a long-term store of value which is why so many recommend having gold as part of your investment portfolio.
Is it true the price of gold goes up when the stock market goes down?
The price of gold is negatively correlated to the stock market most of the time. When the markets go down gold prices often go up. That being said, there are times when the price of gold and the stock market both go up or down in unison. Overall, however, time has shown that gold prices are not tied to the movements of stocks and bonds and it is for this reason the gold should be an important consideration to protect the long-term value of your investment portfolio.
Do current gold prices vary by country?
The price for an ounce or gram of gold remains mostly the same regardless of which country you are in. The price is determined by converting the current spot gold price for an ounce or gram of gold into the country"s currency. For example, the current spot gold price for 1 gram of gold would be converted into Indian Rupees according to the current exchange rate.
How is the current price of gold per ounce determined?
There are many factors that contribute to the current price of gold. Chief among these factors is the strength of the US dollar. Traditionally gold has an inverse relationship to the value of the dollar. In other words, when the value the US dollar is strong, gold prices go down. Related, the strength of major economies also has an inverse relationship to the price of gold - at least when an economy has a significant downturn. All of this is due to the “safe haven” status gold has traditionally had in the investment world. Gold prices are historically far more stable over the course of time than economies and other classes of investments.
Supply and demand, of course, also play a key role in the price of gold per gram or ounce. There is only so much gold to be mined and gold mining is not cheap. When gold demand outstrips gold supply, the price of gold goes up. The chief areas of gold demand are in gold jewelry. In 2017, 46% of demand for gold was for jewelry. There is also the use of gold in industry for such things as electronics and medical devices.

It's easy to think of "inflation" as an abstract economic principle and forget that it has real impacts on real people. Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell acknowledged the pain of price inflation during his press conference at the close of...
In this compelling conversation with Tom Bodrovics of Palisades Gold, VON GREYERZ partner, Matthew Piepenburg, bluntly dissects the empirical realities from the main stream fantasies regarding the risk-asset and economic narratives making the current headlines. He touches upon risk asset facts, the deep implications of debt-to-GDP levels globally, the real rather than sensational consequences of ongoing de-dollarization and the now undeniable fact that gold is replacing the UST as a global reserve asset.
The conversation opens with a candid assessment of the common denominator (and common sense) reality of unsustainable debt and its now obvious ripple effects on all the current narratives and debates regarding stocks, bonds, currencies, deflation/inflation and sound vs. fiat money, all of which culminate in a realistic and sober discussion of gold.
As Piepenburg reminds, the outsized risks in credit and equity markets (from scary “private credit pools” and “low-yield” junk bonds to dangerously narrow/tech-meme-driven stock indexes) can no longer be relegated to the cynicism of “gold bug” thinking, as even the finest minds in the stock and bond markets are drawing the same clear conclusions.
Piepenburg makes an equally blunt case for the risks facing paper money in a global backdrop of open currency debasement. He shares his views on how even the “smartest money” in the room continues to deny or avoid these realities by measuring their wealth in currencies (melting like ice cubes) and chasing yield in increasingly more dangerous corners of the credit and equity markets.
Toward this end, Piepenburg gives his views on family office dynamics and allocations derived from direct managerial experience and a host of recent conversations around the world with many principals in this space. Their relatively low allocations to physical gold in a world otherwise replete with debt, risk-asset and currency risk is fascinating yet otherwise understandable given how fundamentally misunderstood gold remains as an asset class.
Piepenburg holds nothing back in explaining just how and why gold is in fact intentionally misunderstood by many of the most sophisticated investors.
