About Gold as an Asset
Gold is a widely recognized store of value, held by central banks, investors, and individuals across every continent. Unlike fiat currencies, its supply cannot be expanded by a central bank — its scarcity and durability have made it a store of value and a basis for money throughout recorded history. Today, gold functions simultaneously as a financial asset, a safe-haven holding, and an industrial material.
💡 Gold barely corrodes and is widely recycled, so gold mined centuries ago can still be in use today — in jewellery, bars, coins, electronics and central bank vaults.
What Drives Gold Prices
- US Dollar strength — gold is priced in USD; a weaker dollar makes gold cheaper for foreign buyers
- Real interest rates — higher rates raise the opportunity cost of holding non-yielding gold
- Central bank buying and selling — official reserve managers hold large amounts of gold
- Geopolitical risk — wars, sanctions, and political uncertainty drive safe-haven demand
- Inflation expectations — gold is widely used as a long-term inflation hedge
- ETF flows — gold-backed exchange-traded funds buy and sell physical metal as investors move in and out

Gold & CHF — Local Context
Switzerland is an important centre of gold refining, with several major refineries in the canton of Ticino. Because the Swiss franc is itself regarded as a safe haven, gold priced in francs is followed by investors seeking two forms of protection at once.
