Gold, which had been on a strong upward trend, has recently experienced a sharp decline, dropping nearly 20%. This movement is due to the market's focus on the Federal Reserve's expectation of interest rate hikes amid rising geopolitical risks. The expectation of interest rate hikes by the Federal Reserve has led to higher real interest rates, reducing the attractiveness of gold. However, experts recognize the long-term value of gold, maintaining its status as an important asset for investors.
