According to a report from CoinWorld, Schroder Investment's cross-asset investment manager Patrick Brenner pointed out that, in the context of the current high uncertainty in the U.S. economic and policy environment, gold appears to be particularly attractive as a diversification tool for investment portfolio risk. He noted that the U.S. is facing "policy uncertainty, fiscal fragility, and growing investor concerns about the long-term role of U.S. Treasury bonds and the dollar." In this environment, gold, due to its safe-haven properties and low correlation with traditional assets, has become the preferred diversified asset for investors.
