Gold

when

<p><strong>Gleaming, gold shines with all its might, attracting investors in search of security. This age-old glare is as fascinating as it is blinding. For while the yellow metal soars to unprecedented heights, a painful reality darkens the picture of finance in France. Behind the historical records, a stark divide between two worlds that are poles apart is emerging.</strong></p>

<p>Unstable geopolitics and global economic gloom have multiplied finance’s thirst for gold. Facing the threatening specters of war and major electoral uncertainties, the precious metal displays a reassuring aura unmatched. Like a lighthouse in the storm, it embodies a haven of stability and security amidst financial squalls. Its age-old status as an unchanging safe haven attracts capital like a magnet, eager to shield itself from risks.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>

<p>The current impudent gold prices, flirting with <a href="https://tradingview.com/symbols/XAUUSD/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">2200 dollars</a> an ounce, illustrate this frenetic appetite. Each new smashed record triggers a wild resurgence of financial interest in the metal, from enriched individuals to investment funds awash with billions. A phenomenon reinforced by the recent prospect of an upcoming dovish pivot by the US Federal Reserve on interest rates.</p>

<p>While powerful financial forces rush on gold, a major part of the French population finds itself in the cruel necessity of selling its precious metal holdings. Caught by stubborn inflation that’s devouring wages and pensions, modest households are forced to offload their bars and coins. A heartrending but essential choice to wipe out debts and fund essentials: children’s education, a long-postponed real estate project, unavoidable healthcare expenses.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>
<p>This relentless equation disregards the bullish trajectory of gold prices. The more gold appreciates, the more these cash-strapped French sell off their precious lifelines, defying all the technical and fundamental signals deemed opportune by savvy financiers. A physical gold hemorrhage that has markedly intensified since 2023 according to sector professionals, to the point of squashing the premiums on coins, from 15-20% to only 1% now. Reflective of the current economic distress.</p>
<p>Immutable in its shine and age-old power, gold today unveils the deep societal fractures in <a href="https://www.cointribune.com/en/france-zama-startup-raises-73-million-to-revolutionize-crypto/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">France</a> and the world of finance. While some snatch up the precious metal to hedge against risks, others have no choice but to give it up to survive day to day. This tragic paradox starkly highlights the failures of the current financial and economic system, now incapable of offering everyone a minimum of security and opportunities.</p>
