LONDON, 6 February 2018 - Leading US finance news-site MarketWatch today quotes comment and analysis from BullionVault about how gold can help protect investors during stockmarket slumps.
"Gold isn't guaranteed to rise when equities fall. Indeed, it may drop amid a severe crash if fund managers sell to cover losses on other assets," MarketWatch quotes BullionVault research director Adrian Ash.
"But that [ability to sell quickly] is part of gold's role as insurance, because it offers a deep and uniquely liquid market of diverse buyers, from microchip makers to Chinese households celebrating New Year as well as investors."
