In 15 days, the price of an ounce of gold in euros has risen from €1555 (first fixing on February 24 in London) to €1443 at the time of writing. With a low of €1437 per ounce, this represents a drop of 7.59%. And, since March 6, the price seems to have started to fall again. Should we be worried...

Not content to have surpassed its all-time high from October 4, 2012 to the end of August, the euro-denominated ounce of gold has again made its mark.

On November 1, Christine Lagarde took over from Mario Draghi at the ECB, i.e. where the destruction of our currency is being implemented. What kind of policy can we expect from her, and what conclusions can we draw from it in terms of personal finances?

The central question for 2020 is whether the markets will continue to have confidence in the stabilizing powers of Robert Kaplan (Dallas Fed Chairman) and his fellow players, or whether they will feel that the party has definitely gone on long enough.

Since January 1, 2019, gold has recorded a 21.7% return in euros, 16.4% in dollars and an average of 17.8% in the various currencies considered. Since 2001, this represents an average annual performance of 9.6% in euros, 10.4% in dollars and 10% on average. Is the "barbaric relic" sending us a si...

Every end of May, Incrementum publishes one of the most comprehensive gold studies worldwide. The 2019 report’s leitmotif refers to the erosion of trust in politics, society, and the global monetary architecture.

For the yellow metal to constitute real wealth insurance, it must be acquired through a commercial partner in position to offer a certain set of guarantees.

I think it would be interesting to look in the rear-view mirror to get an overview of the performance we can expect in large asset classes available to the French savers – and gold in particular.

Gold trackers cannot be put on the same level as physical gold, which remains the only gold asset that serves as real wealth insurance.

In another post, we saw that mining shares, being shares mainly (with high volatility and the risk of losing 100%), cannot be put on the same level as physical gold. Is it also the case with “paper gold”?

As a wealth management advisor, substituting the easy solution of acquiring gold mining shares to physical gold – whether within a life insurance policy or with an ordinary account – would be a mistake.

As any asset class, gold has several financial properties. The yellow metal can be used for two different purposes: either as a hedging tool against certain macro-economic scenarios or for portfolio diversification. Its virtues, though, are not the ones frequently mentioned in the media...

You’ve probably noticed that most European medias communicate the price of gold in US dollars. I find this quite curious, be it with the timing of the rallies and corrections or their magnitude, depending of the currency.
