Professor Dirk Baur sits down with Kai Hoffmann to explain what’s really behind gold’s recent surge, and whether it’s sustainable. They cover the balance between jewellery, investment and central‑bank demand; how de‑dollarization, tariffs and geopolitics drive price; the difference between safe havens and hedges; and why gold stocks behave so differently from bullion. Stick around for Dirk’s thoughts on hidden risks and China’s true reserves.#gold #federalreserve #trump------------Thank you to our #sponsor MONEY METALS.
