The spot price has been breaking high after high, and there are simply too many economic, monetary, and geopolitical uncertainties and too many moving parts that will continue to push both institutional and retail investors to the oldest and most reliable safe haven there is. One of the most closely watched of the uncertainties is, of course, the imminent US election. Once again, the US has managed to attract international interest and attention and to divide, not only its own citizens, but much of the rest of the world too.

And finally, Now is the not the time to regret not having purchased gold earlier; Now continues to be the best time to buy gold.
