In 2023, investors were still reluctant to invest in gold. But now the markets are nervous. There are many reasons for this, such as ever-increasing government debt, conflicts in the Middle East and the upcoming election in the US. It is helpful to take a look at the bull markets from 1979 to 1980 and from 2010 to 2011, when inflation was very high and central banks were pushing up interest rates. In 2010, interest rates fell because there was a recession. Investors turned to gold to hedge their portfolios.

Gold and silver prices rose sharply. Silver even significantly outperformed gold in terms of price. The mood today could be similar. If the US dollar fulfills its function as a reserve currency, the attractiveness of gold will decline. But this is not the case today, on the contrary. Countries, above all China, want to become less dependent on the US dollar and are therefore increasingly turning to gold. In 2023, central banks worldwide bought more than a third of the gold produced globally (around 1,200 tons).

From a seasonal perspective and from price statistics going back to 1970, July is a month with large price movements, as investors also look at. Overall, July ranks seventh in the year. With the exception of February, the price of the precious metal has risen every month in 2024. Especially after the euro crisis, the price of gold rose twice in July by around eight percent. Many factors influence seasonality, such as traditional festive periods in China or the gift-giving season in India. Global events, economic developments and market conditions also have a significant impact on the price of gold. However, as the medium and longer-term outlook is good, investors should also look at gold companies.
