Episode Details

Gold has performed really well in recent years, says IG Wealth Management’s Chief Investment Strategist, Philip Petursson. Over the last one, three and five years, it has outperformed the S&P 500 Index. With gold once more making waves, Philip examines how gold is valued (including why it’s currently worth way more than its extraction costs), the history behind gold’s correlation with the U.S. dollar and how it acts as a safe haven, especially when political change leads to economic and market uncertainty.
