Slowly and steadily gold has always appreciated in value considering many economical aspects such as inflation, dollar index, printing of money by central banks etc.

In the year 2015 gold prices decreased and gave negative returns of 11.20% as the world economy witnessed steady growth and bond yields kept rising. A surge in the bond yields increase the opportunity cost of holding non-interest yielding bullion. However in the year 2020, the gold has outperformed all the other investment classes and given returns of 46.04%. The reasons for such a sharp shoot up in the value of gold in 2020 were many including decline in bond yields, coronavirus outbreak and low interest rate in the economy.
