Gold Price Regression

Gold has historically been viewed as a store of value, preserving wealth over long periods, especially during times of inflation, currency devaluation, or economic instability. Its limited supply and intrinsic value make it less susceptible to the fluctuations that impact fiat currencies and other assets. It’s seen as a hedge against uncertainties, providing stability when traditional assets (like stocks and bonds) are underperforming or at risk.
Central banks hold significant gold reserves as part of their foreign exchange reserves, reflecting the metal’s long-standing importance in the global financial system.
