The fact that gold impresses with its function as a store of value is well known.
Even with German craftsmanship, things don't seem to be going well, considering the two failed flight attempts of our Foreign Minister with the government plane. In any case, the current trend is for the price of gold to continue to decline, so it's time for favorable entry opportunities. In April, gold could still reach a peak price of $2,079 per ounce, back then the US banking crisis caused a stir.
And now it's the Chinese economy that seems to be becoming a cause for concern. Consumption is decreasing, unemployment numbers are rising, and there are issues in the real estate sector. Once again, a private real estate conglomerate is facing payment difficulties, named Country Garden, and it might not be the last. Unexpectedly by the majority, the central bank in China has lowered interest rates by 15 basis points. How this could affect the price of gold remains to be seen. If this stimulates consumption, it would certainly be positive for the price of the precious metal.
As for the USA, according to a survey, market sentiment seems to be betting on at most one more interest rate hike. After inflation figures decreased in the US, the inflation rate rose slightly to 3.2 percent in July compared to the same month last year. The Fed is guided by core inflation (excluding food and energy prices). This fell from 4.8 to 4.7 percent, as expected. If inflation (core inflation) weakens, this is positive for price pressure.
Gold investments should be made for the long term, and in that regard, the precious metal boasts a historically strong performance. Gold mining stocks, such as Victoria Gold or Calibre Mining, should also be part of the portfolio.
