Gold for the first time struck $ 3,000 per ounce

Gold quotes this Friday grew by 0.4% and for the first time in history pierced the psychological barrier of $ 3,000 per ounce.

• This is an occasion to re -evaluate the role of gold as a means of strategic accumulation, notes Bloomberg. Over the last quarter of a century, gold rose 10 times, the S&P 500 index increased four times.
• The main reason for growth is again the foreign trade policy of Trump, which forced the traders to withdraw precious metals in the United States in anticipation of duties. From his inauguration and on March 12, 650 tons of gold received $ 70 billion in the US depository.
• The periods of rising prices for gold correlate with the eras of economic and political tension, reminds the agency. The threshold of $ 1000 per ounce of gold passed after the world's financial crisis, in $ 2000 - during the pandemic. After it, Dragmetal rolled back to $ 1600, but again began to grow in 2023 as the reserves are diversified by the central banks, which saw the vulnerability in excessive dependence on the dollar - and, accordingly, the US policy.
