The price of gold continues to be a topic of interest for investors, especially with the volatility of markets and the current economic uncertainties. Although it can be considered a safe asset, some experts warn about the need to diversify investments and not put all bets on a single option.
According to Maximiliano Donzelli, Investment Strategies Manager at IOL, with a 60% increase in two years, it is unclear whether the current value of gold represents a peak or if it still has potential to keep rising. In contrast, analysts from the Swiss bank UBS Group AG have raised their forecasts for the price of gold for 2025, reaching US$ 3,200 per ounce in the next four quarters.
The global uncertainty caused by tariff policies and the international trade war has impacted currency stability and strengthened the dollar, which in turn reinforces gold's position as a safe haven. Demand for gold from central banks is increasing due to geopolitical tensions in various regions. Gold prices remain on the rise, reaching records, despite market fluctuations.
The history of gold pricing shows that it has surpassed significant marks during times of economic crises and international tensions. Since the Covid-19 pandemic, it has experienced fluctuations in its value, influenced by global economic and political factors. Demand for gold as a hedge against inflation and as a safe investment remains high, although there are mixed opinions on its effectiveness as a capital safeguard.
In this context, there are various ways to invest in gold, whether through exchange-traded funds (ETFs), purchasing physical bullion, or investing in mining companies specialized in the extraction of this precious metal. All these alternatives offer opportunities for those interested in participating in the gold market and taking advantage of its fluctuations.
