The article emphasizes the advantages of investing in gold amidst global uncertainty, particularly rising geopolitical tensions. Rick Kanda of The Gold Bullion Company highlights that gold should be viewed as a long-term investment rather than a quick fix. The rising price of gold in recent years, coupled with its status as a limited resource, makes it an appealing choice for those looking for stable investments. Investors are advised to consider their financial readiness before investing, especially given the recent volatility in traditional markets like stocks and property.
Over the past two years, the price of gold has surged, with the metal rising by more than 2% last week (Monday, 2nd June 2025) to its highest in over three weeks. Global geopolitical tensions and trade uncertainty have put the price of gold in a strong position, with many experts believing there has never been a better time to invest in the metal.
Gold investment should not be dependent on whether the market is either surging or falling; you should be more focused on whether your financial situation enables you to do so at that particular time. Gold should always be seen as a long-term investment strategy.
When looking at figures from the past 3 years, we can see that a £10,000 investment in gold has had a nominal return of £15,004 and a real return of £12,481, which outpaces alternative investment options.
