“More than two-thirds of retail investors believe that gold is a good safeguard against inflation and currency fluctuations. Almost as many (65%) believe it won’t lose its value over the long-term and report that it makes them feel secure (62%). It is no surprise then, that with so much global economic uncertainty, 61% of retail investors trust gold more than fiat currencies. Because of this, gold is typically used as a strategic asset by retail investors, with the majority using it either to protect their wealth or to generate returns over the long-term.”
