Gold is a simple form of chemical element gold (Au), which is a soft, golden yellow and corrosion-resistant precious metal. Gold is a rarer, more precious and more valuable metal. Generally speaking, gold in the world is measured in ounces. In ancient China, gold was measured in ounces, which was a very important metal. It is not only a special currency for reserve and investment, but also an important material for jewelry industry, electronics industry, modern communication and aerospace industry. For decades, inflation has been very serious, and all countries have been troubled by this problem. The value of money depreciates, the purchasing power of money decreases, and money becomes worthless. In some extreme cases, the national currency inflation is serious, and paper money will become like waste paper. Gold itself is a precious commodity, and the price of gold will rise with inflation, that is, gold offsets the loss of inflation and ensures that investors' assets will not be eroded by inflation.
When the world political situation and economy are unstable, especially when there is war or economic crisis, all kinds of common investment tools such as stocks, funds and real estate will be seriously impacted. At this time, gold embodies a good hedging property. Even in the face of economic crisis, the price of gold can remain unchanged or even rise steadily, maintaining the value of assets. With the continuous exploitation of gold minerals and the increasing demand, gold has become more scarce, and its awareness of risk aversion has been enhanced. The stock and real estate markets are at risk of collapse, and once they collapse, investors will lose everything. Gold is a kind of non-renewable rare metal, the total amount of which has been mined exceeds half of the earth's reserves, and the supply of gold will only be less and less in the future, which makes the price trend of gold keep rising. Even if there are fluctuations in the middle, in the long run, the price of gold is still optimistic all the way. 1944, the price of gold was $35 per ounce, and now the price of gold has exceeded 1700 per ounce. During this period, the price trend of gold has been rising continuously, and investing in gold will not encounter market collapse like investing in stocks and real estate.
