Unlike other commodity groups, gold prices have a connection to uncertainty. While other asset groups, such as bonds and securities, do not like higher volatility, demonstrate higher confusion regarding cash flows, dividends, coupon payments, etc., during times of greater volatility, gold appears to profit. Increased stock market volatility due to growing macroeconomic pressures is increasing gold’s haven appeal. Reduced political uncertainties begin to lessen gold’s haven appeal.
In recent days, gold volatility has risen sharply, but the changes are also unimportant to the gold market. .The volatility of gold is selling in 1962. The 5-day correlation between GVZ and gold values is +0.27, whereas the 20-day correlation is -0.62; the 5-day correlation was +0.26 one week earlier, on December 3, and the 20-day correlation was +0.15.
