The annual inflation rate in Germany was 5.1 percent in February. This means that the target of two percent is a long way off and purchasing power is correspondingly low. The first interest rate step is now not expected until the end of 2020. At the same time, the economic outlook is not the best. Russia’s war against Ukraine is hitting the economy in Europe and inflation is affecting everyone. This calls for investments that are as safe as possible. Bonds as a traditional hedge against market volatility and as a counterweight to portfolio risk are not particularly attractive in the current mix. In the past, this was different, but today there are many highly indebted economies and inflation could be higher than it appears at first glance.

When one thinks of a safe investment, gold immediately comes to mind. Russia’s invasion of Ukraine has boosted the gold market enormously. And there are other good reasons for gold investments. Real interest rates will remain negative for a long time to come, and gold is, after all, the protective agent against inflation and against volatile markets. Thus, the precious metal outperforms other investment opportunities. Mining companies in the gold sector gain value with the gold price. As such, industry experts see gold companies trending upward in the foreseeable future. Jim Wyckoff, senior analyst at Kitco Metals forecasts the gold mining market to be worth $249 billion by 2026. Attractive gold companies include Calibre Mining and GoldMining.
