Insight into Gold Price Fluctuations
Gold prices are known to fluctuate due to a multitude of factors. Investors often turn to gold as a safe haven asset in times of economic uncertainty or volatility in other financial markets. This, in turn, can drive up the demand for gold and consequently impact its price. Additionally, the strength of the US dollar, inflation rates, interest rates, and central bank policies can all play a role in determining the price of gold.
