Precious metals price declines stem from retail pile-in, safe haven and debasement trades remain intact – Brookings’ Brooks

(Kitco News) – While popular explanations for gold’s decline challenge the yellow metal’s status as a safe haven or cast doubt on the continuance of the U.S. dollar debasement trend, the real driver of precious metals’ price action since the start if the Iran conflict is the massive recent growth of retail traders in the metals market, according to Robin Brooks, Senior Fellow at the Brookings Institution and former Chief Economist at IIF and Chief FX Strategist at Goldman Sachs.

Morgan Private Bank, and Justin Biemann, Global Investment Strategist. “There’s a laundry list of reasons why, but the biggest driver may be a new era of geopolitical volatility and fragmentation incentivizing investors to buy the precious metal.”
