Last week we saw a sharp pullback in gold – roughly 9% down to the $3,950/ounce range. But it’s important to keep perspective: Year-to-date, gold is still up around 45%. In other words, what we are seeing now is a healthy correction after a very strong upward move.
Throughout the year, gold benefitted mainly from rising uncertainty:
• Geopolitical tensions and shifting global alliances
• Record-high public debt levels
• Concerns around the long-term strength of the US dollar
• And a growing preference among investors for diversification and hedging tools
So the question is not “Why did gold fall last week?”
The better question is: What role does gold play in a long-term portfolio during a period of structural uncertainty?
Gold is not meant to “beat the market.” It serves as a stabilizer — a layer of protection that reduces volatility and mitigates tail risks.
And in environments like the one we are in today, that layer can be valuable.
Thank you Sami Peretz and Amit Tomer for the thoughtful conversation on החזית הכלכלית - Galei Zahal. Always a pleasure to discuss how investors can think clearly and strategically in times of noise.
