Gold has traditionally been a safe haven for savers, in 2008 when the markets crashed around the world, gold was one of the few investments that received a return. There are safer investments out there, but on the whole, gold generally remains steady.
Today is no different.
Since our last update on 6th March, gold has been a little up and down. The world as we know it has changed completely, lockdown was not even a prospect back then.
Despite the rise and falls the price of gold is still relatively steady; just 0.56% down compared to the price 30 days ago.
At the time of writing the price of gold stands at $1,594.67 per ounce or $51.28 per gram.
Also remember that this represents a 5.49% increase on 6 months ago, and 22.74% on a year ago.
