Why Do Investors Choose Gold?
Gold has been a crucial asset throughout history, serving as both a store of value and a medium of exchange. Today, beyond its allure and use in jewelry, gold is regarded as a safe-haven asset, making it a popular investment during uncertain times. Additionally, gold is widely viewed as a hedge against inflation and currency depreciation, as it isn’t dependent on any single government or issuer.
