Gold Is Breaking Through New Record High Prices. What’s Next?

Gold’s diverse global demand, both cyclical and counter cyclical, has contributed to its historically low correlation with other financial assets such as stocks and bonds. The unique status makes gold appealing to investors looking for ways to manage portfolio risk and enhance diversification and benefit from its capital appreciation and wealth preservation.

Join us at this seminar on 14 Nov, Thu at 6.30pm where Mr Jermyn Wong, Head of Intermediary, South East Asia, at State Street Global Advisors, Mr Robin Tsui, APAC Gold Strategist at State Street Global Advisors, Mr Kang Wei Chin, Associate Director of Securities Trading, Equities - Securities at SGX Group, Mr Geoff Howie, Market Strategist at SGX Group, and Ms Priyanka Sachdeva, Senior Market Analyst at Phillip Nova will discuss the factors driving the current rally in gold prices, which continue to reach record highs.
