Why are gold prices high?

Asked 10 hours ago

Answer

Gold prices are high due to a mix of factors: expectations of lower US interest rates, a weakening US dollar, rising global debt, persistent inflation, declining trust in central banks, and ongoing geopolitical tensions. Analysts also cite increased safe haven demand and the potential for further gains if private investors increase exposure.
