Why Gold is Considered a Store of Value

Illustrative educational content · Not current reporting or personal financial advice.

A store of value is something people hold in the hope that it will retain purchasing power over time. Gold has a long history of being used for this purpose, but its market price can rise and fall.

Before considering a purchase, distinguish the metal’s price from taxes, making charges and selling costs. Physical storage and insurance can add to the total cost.

This introductory guide is educational. Gold does not guarantee a return, and past price movements do not predict future performance.
