About Gold
Gold (XAU/USD) is the world's most widely traded precious metal and has served as a store of value for thousands of years. It is priced in US dollars per troy ounce (31.1 grams) and trades nearly 24 hours a day across global markets.
Gold is considered a safe-haven asset that tends to appreciate during periods of economic uncertainty, inflation, and geopolitical tension. Central banks hold gold as part of their foreign reserves, and it remains a key component of diversified investment portfolios. Gold can be accessed through physical bullion, ETFs (like GLD and IAU), futures contracts, and mining stocks.
