A 2007–2009-es gazdasági válság aranyra gyakorolt hatása

Absztrakt

Due to its advantageous qualities, the gold has had a part in the economy ever since the Ancient Middle-East. This has not changed ever since. In the first decade of the 21st century the investors regarded the gold as a protected investment. From my analyse the conclusion can be drawn that the precious metal was able to fulfil this function before, during and after the crisis, apart from the last third of the 2008 year. Nowadays the gold is still in demand, its price is hectic, but looking back on the last 10 years there is a discernibly rising trend in the price of gold. However, from the middle of 2011 the gold price changes are more and more incalculable. The next years will determine, whether the gold could remain a safe investment form or it will become a speculative instrument.
