Market Insight:

Central banks have long used gold as a portfolio anchor and safe-haven reserve, especially during times of currency volatility and macro stress. Higher gold prices boost the value of existing holdings without central banks needing to buy more — effectively strengthening reserve positions globally.

Why It Matters:

This ranking highlights gold’s enduring global role:

• A strategic reserve asset for economic stability

• A buffer against fiat currency weakness

• A hedge during geopolitical or monetary uncertainty

Gold’s persistent appeal remains strong even as cryptocurrencies and other alternatives compete for investor attention — reinforcing that traditional stores of value still matter in global finance.
