Article Synopsis
Bank of America’s investment strategist Michael Hartnett advises investors to buy gold, despite it being near record-high prices. He believes that potential interest rate cuts by the Federal Reserve could lead to inflation, making gold a smart investment.
Despite gold’s impressive 20% gain this year, outperforming the S&P 500 and tech stocks, investors have been selling rather than buying, leading to $2.5 billion in outflows. However, central banks, particularly China’s, have been buying large amounts of gold, driving the price surge.
