Why You Should Own (Some) Gold
By Greg Ip
The Wall Street Journal

Wednesday, September 17, 2025
Here are some good reasons not to invest in gold. First, it earns no dividends or interest. Second, you can't live in it, like real estate. Third, it has doubled in the last few years, so forget about buying at the bottom.
Nonetheless, this column is going to explain why a prudent, diversified investor should consider owning gold today.

This isn't about potential return. It is about insurance. Gold tends to go up when bad things happen, from inflation and runaway government debt to war and political instability. Those things seem more likely now than they have for a long time.
In a new report, Ashwin Thapar, of D.E. Shaw Investment Management, argues that as global wealth grows, so should gold holdings. He estimates that since 1975, gold has ranged from 1.8% to 7.3% of developed market liquid wealth. (It has recently broken above that range.)
Newly mined gold increases the stock of gold less than 2% a year, according to JPMorgan Chase. The remainder of gold wealth comes from a rising price. Over the long run that is probably enough to keep up with Treasury bills, but not a plain vanilla mix of stocks and bonds. The purpose of gold is to damp the impact when something hammers stocks, bonds, or the dollar.
The trick is to figure out what that something is.

Foreign investors in U.S. assets are rushing to hedge their exposure to the dollar, in a sign of increased nervousness about the impact of Donald Trump's agenda on the world’s dominant currency.
Hedged investments into US bonds and equities are outstripping unhedged holdings for the first time in four years, according to Deutsche Bank analysis, after a sharp move since Trump's election last November.

"Foreigners may have returned to buying U.S. assets, but they don't want the dollar exposure that goes with it,” said Deutsche Bank strategist George Saravelos, adding those investors were “removing dollar exposure at an unprecedented pace."
The behaviour helps explain an apparent paradox in U.S. markets since the sharp sell-off triggered by Trump's "liberation day" tariff announcements in April: how Wall Street stocks have staged a roaring comeback without triggering a recovery in the dollar. ...

"When this building was created, it was designed as a working bank building. There were people coming and going all day," explains the Bank of England Museum's curator, Jenni Adam.
"And immediately they were greeted with this sense of grandeur along with lots and lots of messages about what's happening in this site."
One hundred years ago work began to rebuild the Bank of England -- a place which had started as a townhouse in the 1700s and expanded over subsequent centuries.
To mark this centenary a new exhibition has begun in the bank's museum revealing more about what can be found inside one of Britain's most secure buildings.
Ahead of its opening the BBC was given a rare look inside the bank itself, where some of the country's key financial decisions are made and which houses some 400,000 bars of gold in its basement vaults. ...

Authorities are looking into boosting tokenised gold trading in Hong Kong as a step forward to becoming the world's first such settlement centre and shielding the city against U.S.-dollar dominance amid rising geopolitics, the Post has learned.
Sources said Chief Executive John Lee Ka-chiu was expected to enhance efforts to build up Hong Kong into an international gold trading centre in his policy address on Wednesday, his second-last blueprint for his incumbent term.

"His policy advisers have proposed to Lee to set out a policy to facilitate tokenised gold trading in Hong Kong so as to turn the city into the first such digital settlement centre in the world. Lee is positive about it," an insider said.
"The move will boost gold trading in Asia and bypass the Western-dominated international payment settlement system amid the rising geopolitics, while we will still maintain a high standard of transaction monitoring and anti-money laundering measures." ...
He said the enhancement of tokenised gold trading would further consolidate Hong Kong's status as an international financial centre as it would lower the investment barrier and further boost liquidity.
He highlighted the current inadequacies of gold trading in Hong Kong, noting that digital gold available from one commercial bank did not permit the redemption of the physical precious metal. ...

Americans are feeling the pinch when it comes to price inflation. Rising prices are a political football with politicians on both sides of the aisle eager to pin blame on the other party.
Both sides are correct. Politicians, along with the central bank they created and continue to endorse, are fully responsible for the affordability crisis and the fading American dream.

Few young people can afford to buy a home. Simply paying rent and buying groceries is out of reach for some. Politicians may try to leverage this growing frustration, but their solutions have not helped.
Most Americans don't understand the root of the problem. Prices are not going higher. Instead, the U.S. dollar (like other fiat currencies) is going down the drain.
If more people understood the yardstick that we use for prices -- the dollar -- was being debased, it would change the way they invest and save.
The best way to illustrate what is happening with prices is to use a different yardstick. Take a look at what has happened to prices measured against gold.
Housing is a good place to start. ...

Kenneth Pack invested in gold for the first time in April to shield himself from what he saw as the disorder of the new Trump administration. The chaos trade was just heating up.
Even after the stock market recovered from Trump's "Liberation Day" confusion and rose even higher, investors such as Pack have kept plowing money into the precious metal. The Nevada retiree plans to keep holding precious metals and stocks linked to them, which comprise 17% of his portfolio.

BANGKOK -- Thai authorities are reported to be considering a tax on physical gold trading to slow a rally in the nation's currency that has threatened exports and tourism. The baht fell the most in six weeks.
The Bank of Thailand and Ministry of Finance are discussing ways to tax gold bought and sold through various online channels and settled in baht, according to people familiar with the matter. Any such levy may exempt gold traded in U.S. dollars, on futures exchanges, or purchases made from bullion shops, the people said.
