87.2% of investors in precious metal are expecting the price of gold to climb even higher in the second half of the year. As illustrated in a new infographic from Kryptoszene.de, both small investors and market experts see great potential in gold.
Over the first six months of the year the price of gold recorded its second strongest half-yearly gain in the last decade, according to a survey by BullionVault.
34.7% are optimistic about prospects for gold due to monetary policies of governments and central banks. Similarly, 20.7% are critical of the level of government deficits and expect gold to perform well for this reason. In sum, it is clear that investors continue to believe in gold’s value as a crisis currency – both as a safe bet in the face of the Covid pandemic, but also against a backdrop of geopolitical uncertainties.
