Is Gold A Good Investment?
Gold is one of the largest financial assets in the world with an average daily trading volume of $183 billion, and its value has seen explosive growth in recent years.
At the start of 2000, gold was priced at just $460 per ounce when adjusted for inflation. By August 2021, that number had ballooned to roughly $1,815 per ounce.
But not all investors are in love with gold. Warren Buffett has spoken out numerous times on his doubts, calling it an asset with âno utility.â
âIt doesnât produce anything and thatâs why from a long-term perspective, itâs a hard asset to invest in,â Odyssey Capital Advisors chief investment officer Jason Snipe said. âItâs prudent portfolio management to have maybe a small allocation there but this is not an asset that you want to be heavily entrenched into if youâre looking for long-term yield.â
Since 2011, the S&P 500 has returned more than 16% on an annualized basis. The annualized return for the 10-year Treasury note sat at just over 2% in that time period. Gold, meanwhile, has fallen slightly over the past 10 years.
âEarly on, you see strong performance, strong return or yield from commodities such as gold. Generally, as we move into a different cycle, gold is not as great a performer as we move into a normalized environment,â Snipe said.
Whether gold is an effective hedge against market volatility is also widely debated among experts.
âGold is not necessarily a perfect hedge against inflation but it can be a strategic hedge against inflation,â according to Suki Cooper, executive director of precious metals research at Standard Chartered Bank.
âVarious studies have shown us that if gold is held for 12 to 18 months before inflation takes higher and then itâs held for an additional 12 to 18 months while inflation moves higher, it can be a good inflation hedge,â Cooper said. âBut if itâs just bought for a short period, letâs say a month, it may not prove to be an effective inflation hedge.â

Anthropic began its journey as an under-the-radar research lab founded in 2021 by seven former OpenAI employees. Now, the company is poised to launch an historic public debut that could set the tone for the AI trade in 2027 and test investorsâ appetite for an entirely new asset class. The company that brought the world Claude reported more than $33 billion in revenue for the first nine months of 2026 in its updated IPO prospectus, but also disclosed nearly $900 billion in compute and infrastructure commitments and 90-plus pages of potential risks. CNBC explores Anthropicâs rapid rise, its rivalry with OpenAI and its clash with the Pentagon, and what its public debut could mean for the AI trade.
