Gold
Gold is one of the oldest investment instrument. This type of investment has always been associated with safety, which is why gold is preferred in times of crisis and uncertainty. Unlike money, gold cannot be printed by anyone, i.e. it cannot be created at the will of the goverments. Therefore, investors prefer it as an inflation insurance tool. Gold is a popular asset and there are many ways to trade it. Physical gold can be traded by buying and selling bullions and coins, but it can also be traded through various financial instruments.
