Gold and silver endure for centuries and millennia

Once again, old gold and silver coins have been discovered. Today, these precious metals shine as investment assets.

During the construction of a motorway in the Czech Republic, a Celtic settlement was found that is around 2,200 years old and covers an area of approximately 25 hectares. In addition to building remains, several hundred gold and silver coins and more than 1,000 pieces of jewelry were discovered. Gold is more popular than ever as an investment and a store of value, and investors are looking at the factors that influence the price of the precious metal. Recently, the price of gold has taken a bit of a hit due to the tariff deal between Japan and the US. As a result, the price of gold was unfortunately unable to break through the resistance zone of US$3,450 per troy ounce.

This may be frustrating at first glance, but the signs for a higher gold price remain very good. Once again, it is the central banks that could drive up the price of gold. According to a survey, almost half of central banks want to increase their gold reserves in the next three years, more than ever before. The US is planning additional punitive tariffs against Russia’s partners. At the same time, Europe, Turkey, India, China, and South Korea are positioning themselves against the US on tariffs. Global economic consequences are inevitable. In any case, trade disputes are a significant factor driving up the price of gold. The US president’s tariff policy, for example, caused General Motors‘ profits to shrink by 35 percent in the second quarter of 2025. And either the company or consumers will have to foot the bill. Rising inflation and lower economic growth are hanging over the US like a sword of Damocles – which is positive for the gold price.

When inflation rises and interest rates fall, gold becomes more attractive, and the share prices of gold companies also become increasingly attractive.
