Metals 101

What is a 'safe-haven' asset?

Something investors move into when they're nervous β€” gold is the classic example. The label describes a tendency, not a guarantee; gold can and does fall too.

β€œMetals mirror the dollar and the day's mood β€” a description, not a forecast.”

Gold Mornings is an educational digest for US readers. Nothing here is financial, investment, tax, or legal advice. Metals carry risk β€” you can lose money, and past performance does not predict future results. Some links may be affiliate links; we may earn a commission at no cost to you. Prices via Yahoo Finance, captured each morning before the US open.
