In recent weeks, and particularly this Monday and Tuesday, people have been lining up for hours in the Sydney CBD with one goal in mind: buying some gold.

Gold prices have recently experienced a significant decline.

Yesterday, Australia woke up to the news that the precious metal had suffered its worst single-day fall since 2013, down a whopping 5.7 per cent in one go.

Throughout the year, gold has faced various fluctuations, including some steep drops. At one point, it lost over $100 in just one day and saw a decrease of approximately $300 within a single month, following the initial reaction to tariffs announced during Trump’s “liberation day.”

Despite these fluctuations, gold remains on course for one of its most impressive single-year performances.

According to Attrill, “Gold has increased by 57% so far this year, greatly surpassing Bitcoin, which has risen by 17%, as well as outperforming major global stock indices.”

However, this may not provide much comfort to those who purchased gold earlier in the week.
