There are many reasons to hold gold as an investment, including portfolio diversification and as a hedge against currency weakness. However, for many investors gold’s long history as a safe haven in times of geopolitical uncertainty is its primary investment advantage.
Gold was the first storehouse of value and has remained so, in many different countries and cultures, for centuries. It is also an important mined commodity. While gold has always been an important source of wealth, today over two-thirds of gold demand is accounted for by the jewellery sector. Canada is an important source for mined gold and ranks eighth for worldwide gold production, with China most recently becoming the world’s largest producer, followed by South Africa.
