They note that gold retains its appeal due to its intrinsic value, limited supply, and independence from government policy, making it a hedge against inflation, currency depreciation, and market volatility.

Historically, periods of geopolitical tension and financial instability have driven investors toward bullion, away from riskier assets such as equities and speculative currencies.

Gold continues to serve not only as a traditional ornamental commodity but also as a financial safe haven, with demand typically rising during global uncertainty.
