Investopedia is basically seen as the “Wikipedia of investing.” This is just one example of how professionals often view gold as a hedge against inflation: “Gold is a popular inflation hedge because its price often rises as the dollar’s value declines.” In general, there’s a pretty broad consensus among investors and economists that gold tends to do well during inflationary periods, geopolitical uncertainty.

I am still using my brain, so why I prefer to listen to the consensus of the professionals rather than opinion from random people on the internet. Gold prices have kept rising soon after the COVID-19, mainly because inflation stayed high. Even though inflation has started trending down recently, but it still hasn’t really settled around the usual target of about 2%. On top of that, recent tensions involving Iran causes a geopolitical uncertainty and pushed fuel prices higher, which has raised concerns that inflation could pick up again.

But wait until inflation gets closer to that 2% range, the war is over in the future and see how the gold price react in the long term. But of course, there are always exceptions, and nobody can predict the future with certainty.

From the the table in post #721. What happened in 2013. Gold crashed primarily because the FED signalled it would begin tapering its massive economic stimulus (Quantitative Easing).

Gold price tumbles to three-year low

Price of gold falls below $1,200 – from highs of $1,895 in 2011 – as Federal Reserve's QE comments dampen fears of inflation
