Among the events that could increase the price of gold, there aren’t only crisis and wars. There is also growing economic markets, which are going to need gold.
By reading the title of this news, you can legitimately ask yourself this question: “Why would it be bad news?” ; and the answer is simple: “It would be very good news for the global economy. “. But we never claimed that all events with a major economic impact would necessarily negative.

On one hand, the price of gold could react to this differently than the usual way; that is to say it could rise as the global economy rather than react inversely to the overall trend.
