The price of an ounce of gold reached a new peak on Thursday April 5, at more than 2,300 dollars. This is good for savers who have held jewelry, coins or bullion for a long time, and who benefit from the windfall effect in a context of galloping inflation.
This also whets the appetite of new clients attracted by the spectacular increases in this safe haven asset. “As in the stock market, savers buy when gold rises,” says François de Lassus, consultant for the Or en Cash network. ‘Those who are positioning themselves now imagine that it will go higher,’ he adds. The price of the precious metal has now been hovering around $2,000 for almost four years, despite a few air gaps, and for three months, it has regularly crossed the threshold of $ 2,100. The yellow metal has never shined so brightly. It has been flying from record to record for months. Can he go higher?
