FTX bankruptcy reminds us how important it is to pay attention to one's intermediaries on the one hand, and to the security of one's assets on the other. In this context, gold stands out from cryptocurrencies and reminds us once again of the lack of comparability between both assets.

2022 will have confirmed our expectations. The price of gold has (so far) remained broadly stable with sharp movements linked in particular to the war in Ukraine. However, as we have shown, these movements are symmetrical with the past evolution of gold prices. Although the year 2022 is not over,...

As the constraints of rationing, loss of purchasing power and taxation of wealth loom large, this situation is reminiscent of the 1930s and Franklin Delano Roosevelt's confiscation of gold.

How does the price of gold coordinate the players in the gold market? Investors, miners, central banks, funds, individuals, etc. How has the behavior of each of these agents been historically influenced by the price of gold? This question is rarely asked by market specialists and yet deserves to...

What is the difference between gold and the companies that mine it? What is the profile of the mining companies? What are the different risks and performances associated with mining companies compared to the gold price? These are all questions that are essential to understanding the gold market.

At a time when history is crying out, it is possible to understand the links between gold, inflation, and geopolitical events. This link is so close that the study of inflation alone allows us to infer the future direction of gold.

The relatively sizable historic decline of the gold price makes it possible to draw detailed conclusions about the regular phases of evolution of the price of gold. In this article, we take a look at an exclusive approach to the cyclical nature of gold, the major phases of growth since the 1970s,...

The investment horizon is a key element for a successful investment in gold. The yellow metal, beyond the tumult of speculation or the clamor of stocks and shares, is a truly unique and enticing asset for long investment horizons.

Gold is an eternally stable asset. It has one of the lowest levels of volatility one can find anywhere on the stock markets. What’s more, variations of an extreme nature are very rare. Furthermore, by contrast with most other assets, the absolute gold variations demonstrate stability and a high d...

The governments and central banks have crossed a point of no return, meaning that structural reforms to our monetary system are inevitably going to be required. Judging by the previous cycles, said reforms should become a necessity before the next 20 years are out. There is an urgent need to anti...

Recently, the Silver Institute published its annual report. The report states that silver could rise by more than 30% in 2021, primarily as a result of the spike in demand. The unprecedented context of the crisis has shaken up the market, and seems to be bringing an end to a long, persistent peri...
