In other words, you should choose to invest in gold when the economy is in recession. Because the fluctuation of gold price often moves in the opposite direction with economic prosperity, stock market trend and gold supply. Therefore, when the market is in a downturn, it is the best time for you to invest in gold. Let's take America as an example. Before 1929 stock market crash and after 1968 stock market crash peaked, the stock price plummeted and the gold price rose. Looking at the global situation, since 200 1, global deflation and the gradual decline of major global stock markets have made gold investment shine. All these show that when the economy is in recession, investing in gold should be a choice.

2. When the money interest rate drops,

This is because the change of money interest rate is inversely proportional to the change of gold price. Because, when the currency interest rate is quite high, the opportunity cost of storing gold will be high. At this time, it is better to buy gold than to buy assets that generate interest. On the contrary, when the money interest rate drops, investors can choose to invest in gold.

3. When you are rich.

Don't try to get rich overnight by storing gold, not to mention all your assets. Because if you want to invest in gold, you must first have a certain economic foundation. Your life also needs a stable source of cash income. Otherwise, it will disturb the order, and when money is urgently needed, it will "buy high and sell low" and lose its original value. So, when you have plenty of money, consider gold again.

4. When it is necessary to preserve value.

Investing in gold is because it is a more valuable investment than saving. It can avoid the "hidden consumption" of inflation on existing income and effectively resist risks. However, due to its low risk and low yield, you can only invest heavily in gold if the external market environment is unstable, such as inflation. Usually a small amount can be held.
