Gold is seen as a safe haven at times of economic crisis such as the pandemic-led market crash. The yellow metal is also viewed as a hedge against currency depreciation and inflation.
The precious metal has traded well despite the recent shift in the markets as investors seek riskier stocks in the wake of positive COVID-19 vaccine developments. These events are raising hopes of a revival from the pandemic-induced economic slump.
