So the jump in the value of gold is not just a financial event, it is a marker of investor confidence in the modern economy. And for the fintech market, this is a clear signal: technology can make finance more convenient, but the basis of trust is always built on simple and understandable values,&quot; \u2013 summarized Olena Sosedka.<\/p>\n<p>She noted that the current rise in the value of gold is only the tip of the iceberg, because at a global level it indicates investors&#039; preparation for a weakening dollar. The depreciation of the American currency makes gold more accessible to buyers in international markets, which, in turn, increases demand and stimulates further price growth.<\/p>\n<p>The main drivers of stable demand for gold remain central banks, primarily China and Russia. They are actively increasing their gold reserves, effectively implementing a de-dollarization strategy and demonstrating a desire to reduce dependence on the American currency.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The price of gold fell by 0.3% to $4,153.49 per ounce, futures fell by 0.5% to $4,150.
