Praskne zlatá bublina?

Pokračujúca finančná kríza je jedným z faktorov, ktorá bude mať vplyv na udržanie hodnoty zlata aj v budúcom období. Ľudia z obáv budú totiž hľadať aktíva, ktoré majú silný potenciál pre uchovanie si svojich hodnôt. A zlato je jedným z nich - už niekoľko tisícročí.

Many bullish analysts point to plenty of support for higher prices coming from safe-haven concerns such as a stressed economic climate, ongoing sovereign debt problems and the threat of inflation.

It’s these concerns, rather than pure supply/demand fundamentals, that have brought prices 13 percent higher in 2010, which gives many an eternal pessimist (some may call them realists) reason to warn the gold market may be experiencing a bubble waiting to burst.

A circular logic exists amongst the Church of Gold, says Robertson. “Buy gold because the financial system might collapse. Gold has gone up in price, so the financial system must be in danger of collapsing because people buy gold when the financial system might collapse.”

Pascoe adds “peak” gold to the list of reasons used to justify rising gold prices. “Aside from inflation and civilisation’s collapse, ‘peak’ gold also gets a good run, the idea that the world is running out of gold. It’s not. At present prices, marginal deposits become viable mines and supply increases markedly.”

The World Gold Council sees gold prices gaining support from all areas of the marketplace from private investors and central banks looking to stock up on physical holdings to shareholders seeking greater positions in gold miners. “The backdrop is the continuing financial crisis and people’s desire to protect their wealth by investing in something that they believe is going to hold its value,” said the Council’s managing director Marcus Grubb.
