What Happened to Gold in 2019?
Gold surged 19% in 2019 as the Fed reversed course — cutting rates three times after pausing in 2018. US-China trade war escalation, inverted yield curves signaling recession fears, and central bank buying at the highest level since 1971 drove gold to 6-year highs. Russia and China were leading buyers.
