Whenever geopolitical tensions rise, investors often turn to gold.

The popular ETF SPDR Gold Shares has been seeing renewed interest as investors hedge against global uncertainty.

Historically, wars and economic crises push gold prices higher.

Discussion Question:
Is gold the safest trade right now?

I will say trade with whatever you can afford to lose. There is a little pull back now.

But why is gold moved or increase in price by war, same thing to Bitcoin?

 

[Tobcom]

Gold is very safe to trade right now. Among other things, these following factors are contributing to the rise in the demand for this metal: decline in US real yields, increase in inflation rate and diversification of institutional portfolios.
