Scientists have discovered gold while searching for superconductors.
With a new superconducting material, quantum computing could enter a new phase in terms of reliability. The researchers have coated tellurium and another material with a thin gold film. The surface of the gold film became superconducting. The new superconductor is more resistant to magnetic fields than normal superconductors. Thin gold films can therefore suppress the loss of quantum properties due to external environmental influences. And the new superconducting material appears to be ideal for use in quantum computers. For investors, the question of where the price of gold is heading is probably more interesting.
Since the US presidential election, the price of gold has suffered a number of losses. The price of the precious metal has now fallen below USD 2,600 per ounce, which is around USD 200 less than the last record high. One of Trump's declared favorite words, "tariffs", is likely to fuel inflation and could thus prevent or delay new interest rate cuts by the US central banks. Incidentally, the US dollar is currently showing strength, which is not so good for the gold price either. Bond yields have also risen. The fact that gold ETFs are also experiencing outflows is exacerbating the fall in the gold price.
But there is light at the end of the tunnel. If fears of inflation arise, this speaks in favor of gold investments, as they offer protection against inflation. Even if the mood on the gold market is rather gloomy at the moment, the fundamentals are still good for gold in the medium to long term. Crises persist and the central banks' buying spree could increase. After all, if Trump gets serious with his announced tax cuts, US government debt will continue to rise. This in turn is driving central banks, especially in emerging markets, to focus more on gold as reserves than on the US currency. The price of the precious metal should therefore soon start to rise again. The stocks of gold companies, including those in the royalty sector, therefore continue to be an enrichment for portfolios.
