Gold is an investment that has never been looked upon as risky because it is a rare and steady commodity. Turmoil in the economy is when people tend to purchase gold because it will tend to value even when the other assets are trickling away. Other determinants such as the interest rates across the globe, the exchange rates, and political issues still have a significant impact in determining its price.
