What happened
Gold has surpassed the dollar as the world’s leading central-bank reserve asset, according to Howard Marks in. Concerns over US fiscal policy, including a national debt of about $40 trillion growing by roughly $2 trillion annually, are cited as driving gold's rise, according to Don Durrett in. Despite this trend, Motilal Oswal Financial Services Ltd. advised that gold may correct by 6-8% before resuming its rally toward USD 5,500+ over 12-15 months in.
Why it matters
Howard Marks stated that the US dollar is likely to remain the world’s main reserve currency for now, as there is no clear alternative capable of taking its place, according to. Don Durrett argues that US fiscal policy leaves policymakers unable to fight inflation and support economic growth simultaneously, which he believes will prompt the FED to expand the money supply in.
