Is Gold a Reliable Inflation Hedge?
Background:
Gold is the world’s pre-eminent physical store of value, and as such it usually rises in price at times of economic or political stress, and when investors expect high inflation. The gold price has been rising fairly consistently since the onset of the 2008-2009 global financial crisis, passing the $1,000/ounce mark in late 2009 as investors turned to gold in the face of a weakening U.S. dollar and rising fears about future inflation as government deficits and future borrowing needs are set to increase sharply. A partial recovery of demand for physical gold in jewelry, especially in India, has also driven the gold price (jewelry consumption accounts for more than half of all physical gold demand, followed by investment demand; industrial and dental applications are also significant).
