Gold prices shot up to record highs this morning, hitting $4,035 per ounce, as people around the world look for ways to protect their savings from stubborn inflation and economic uncertainty. Not only are ongoing geopolitical tensions and shifting central bank policies driving this surge, but there’s also a growing sense in the markets that high interest rates might stick around longer than anyone first thought. Both big investors and everyday savers are turning to gold—hoping it will help safeguard their money and provide some stability as stock markets swing up and down.
At the same time, stock markets have been surprisingly resilient. Even though there have been a few dips and some short-term ups and downs, major indices are holding steady thanks to upbeat Q3 earnings forecasts, healthy consumer spending, and continued growth in areas like tech and energy. Many experts are pointing out how unusual it is to see both gold and stocks doing well at the same time—it’s a sign, they say, that we’re in a complicated stretch of the economic cycle. As a result, financial advisors are encouraging people to mix things up: blend safe havens like gold with shares in innovative companies and fast-growing sectors, so you’re better prepared to manage risks and work toward your long-term financial goals.
