Our articles on the metal and coin industry cover news and new releases from 2016 to the present day.
One of the biggest events in recent history was the global financial crisis of 2008 which was triggered by the collapse of the housing market. The recession that followed also contributed to the increase in gold prices, as economic uncertainty often leads to an increase in demand for the precious metal.
Another significant event in the industry was the COVID-19 pandemic, which led to widespread economic disruption and uncertainty. As a result, the price of gold saw a significant increase as investors sought out safe havens for their wealth. The ongoing trade tensions between the US and China and other geopolitical events, such as elections, have also had an impact on the price of gold.
These are just a few events that have shaped the market and influenced trends in the industry, with investors turning to safe haven assets during times of uncertainty and conflict.
