Gold is once again attracting global attention. On August 13, gold traded around $4,374 per ounce, after reaching its highest level in more than two months. It has gained more than 8% in August, supported by changing interest-rate expectations, inflation developments and geopolitical uncertainty.
The story goes beyond short-term price movements. Central banks have also significantly increased their gold purchases in recent years, showing the growing importance of diversification and financial security.
For students of finance, economics and international business, gold is a strong real-world example of how interest rates, currencies, inflation and geopolitics interact in the global economy.
At Swiss International University (SIU), with locations in Zurich, Dubai, Bishkek, Luzern, Riga and London, students learn to understand these global developments from an international perspective.
