George Milling-Stanley, Chief Gold Strategist, State Street Global Advisors, Juan Carlos Artigas, Executive Director, Global Head of Research, World Gold Council, and Kelly Ryan, Head of Independent Wealth Management, State Street Global Advisors weigh in on rising rates, inflation, and gold.
Gold has been a historically reliable asset that provides diversification to a portfolio, helps mitigate portfolio drawdowns, and provides potential store of value for investors over time. The benefits of risk management, capital appreciation, and wealth preservation all make gold an attractive option for investment.
When the pandemic brought drastic change to asset markets around the world, and equity and bond markets upended in early 2020, investment in gold was an even more valuable source of diversification, risk-adjusted returns, and liquidity. The sharp increase in consumer price inflation (CPI) and expectations for increasingly volatile inflation calls into question whether or not gold will continue to be a strategic investment. While gold saw a significant rebound in Q2, the question remains whether or not that growth will continue for the rest of 2021.
