Gold and precious metals: update after recent correction

About this episode

Edmund Shing and Philipp Gijsels discuss the recent correction in precious metals markets, focusing on gold's long-term outlook.

In this podcast, Edmund Shing, Global Chief Investment Officer and Philipp Gijsels, Chief Investment Strategist, discuss the recent correction in precious metals markets, with a particular focus on gold and its long‑term outlook. Precious metals prices have recently experienced a significant correction, reflecting changing market conditions. This correction has been driven mainly by higher interest rates, a stronger US dollar and investor profit‑taking. Such pullbacks are not unusual for gold during periods of market or geopolitical shocks and should be seen in a broader historical context. Looking ahead, the long‑term drivers for gold remain intact, supported by structural demand and its role as a hedge against inflation and macroeconomic uncertainty. Hosted on Ausha.
