Many are expecting new highs in the price of gold. Because the global economy is still far from normal. Prices above 1,900 or even 2,000 US dollars could come. The tendency to loosen money and the increasing indebtedness are enormous. Gold ETFs, for example, reached a record high of 3,185 tonnes of gold at the end of March, no wonder. And another pandemic wave cannot be ruled out either.

The rise in the price of gold and silver is mainly due to the enormous amount of money currently flowing into the markets. Central banks are putting together rescue packages of new dimensions. This benefits the price of gold and also silver. Precious metals are again proving to be a stable value that is worth betting on. This can also be seen in the silver ETFs, which have been recording strong gains for months.

After a few hours, the viruses are no longer detectable, whereas they can survive for days on other smooth surfaces. Copper acts almost like a blast. In 2015, microbiologist Professor Bill Keevil even demonstrated with a predecessor of Covid-19, coronavirus 229E, that copper kills viruses efficiently. Copper is a passive antimicrobial material. It can even sterilize its surface itself. And there are no mutations, as all genes contained in the virus or bacterium are destroyed.

Investing in gold seems to be the only right thing to do at the moment. This is what the current situation and a look at the history of the gold price tells us.

A study from Great Britain by Venson Automotive Solutions reveals that more and more British consumers can now imagine buying an electric vehicle as their next car. Around 45 percent of these consumers were inspired by the positive effects of the Corona crisis on the air. Around 19 percent of those surveyed stated that their next car would be an electric car. The participants in the survey also wish that there were more measures to promote the spread of electric vehicles.

Especially the activities of the FED should now prove more favourable than ever for the price of the precious metal. The FED said that it would buy assets in the necessary amounts to support the smooth functioning of the market and an effective monetary policy. The purchase of corporate bonds is new. Never before has the FED been in such a massive buying frenzy. The FED has already bought more in just three weeks than in the worst twelve months after the financial crisis.

The climate is better right now. The current changes in the atmosphere could perhaps even, as researchers suspect, make forecasts easier. Because Corona looks like a giant laboratory experiment. There could be fewer clouds on routes with heavy traffic. But the weather forecasts could be more off. The planes provide data on temperature, air pressure and wind speed. And this data is coming in much more sparsely than usual.

Blame the invisible enemy, Covid-19, seasonal effects on the gold price should now be negligible in view of the corona crisis. Looking at the price of gold, it has risen by around 25 percent in the last twelve months. The price fluctuations in March were large, but overall, not much happened.

Tiny spherical gold particles have been used as indicators in lateral flow assays for over 40 years. This method comes from biochemistry and is used for the detection of substances. Originally, the method was used to bind antibodies to the material. Today, gold is used to identify the presence of biomarkers based on the body's own immune response to Covid-19 instead of searching for the virus. Tests based on gold in this way are widely used in South Korea and China. And increasingly also in Europe.

If the gold price is currently falling, this is usually because liquidity is being created. Besides the IMF, gold on a large scale is held by gold ETFs. They are only surpassed by the FED and the Bundesbank. At a time when monetary policy is more capricious than during the financial crisis, gold should continue to attract strong buying interest. Because the immense amount of fiat money will make gold a winner.
