If you’ve been following the trading prices for gold here on our website, you’ve noticed that prices have been trending up since Brexit and the presidential election.
Why have trading prices seen an uptick? There are many theories. One is that people are expecting the Trump presidency to be good for business and the economy in general. Therefore, people will start to buy more luxury items like jewelry and high-end watches. And if jewelry production rises, the price of gold could increase. (The worldwide production of jewelry did slump slightly over the last four years because people were feeling economic jitters.)
Another reason for higher gold prices could be something as simple as optimism. Brexit and the election of Donald J. Trump are both something new. And when change occurs, some people spend more.
Will Gold Prices Continue to Rise?
We are gold refiners and recyclers, not market analysts. But nonetheless, it seems probable that due to all the change that has just taken place in the world, the recent increase in gold prices will be more than just a bump on a graph. It seems likely that prices are trending up, and could continue to do so for months, or even for several years.
If that is the case, what are your best gold investment strategies? If you believe that gold prices will continue to rise, here are two to consider…
- Invest in gold coins and bullion now and wait for trading prices to rise even more. How much should you buy? That is the $1 million question, of course. You could buy a small quantity to “feel out” the situation – but you might later discover that you should have bought even more. Or you could invest big in coins and bullion now – but you might discover later that prices did not continue to rise. Investing really is gambling, and it is smart to keep that in mind.
- Ramp up your efforts to collect recyclable gold. Buying recyclables can offer you a double payback on every dollar you invest. First, by investing in the right recyclables, you can acquire gold at below-market prices. Second, by acquiring gold at a time when it seems to be increasing in value, you are positioning yourself to profit in the future.
