With the current economy, the fears about the Brexit, Italy, the Sino-American problems and the general pessimism among investors; It looks like Gold is coming back the past months. At the same time, countries like the EU, Japan & China are reducing their investments in the economy,
(it should also reduce demand for the USD?)
Even the Central banks are buying more Gold (+13% from the previous year). Economists predict a dark year for 2019 and it seems a lot of large funds are now buying Gold massively. Especially from Asia and Soviets.
In my opinion, people did not go anywhere from gold, it always remained in the place of honor among investments with money supply surplus. You can earn in cryptocurrency, but you need to store partially earned in traditional ways, including gold. No matter what anyone says, gold has always been, is and will remain gold, the benchmark of the value of everything.
