ทำไมราคาทองถึงพุ่งสูงขึ้นอย่างต่อเนื่อง? จีน อินเดีย และ BRICS กำลังเร่งซื้อ?
Summary
What makes gold permanently valuable: it does not rust, does not degrade, and exists in strictly limited quantity.
In monetary history, Bretton Woods in 1944 fixed the price of gold — the point at which gold and the dollar were tied together.
What is happening now is central banks in China, India and the BRICS buying hard, which is the main reason the price is climbing.
Key points
The buyers are central banks, not retail investors
That distinction matters: central banks buy for strategic reasons rather than to speculate.
Gold is the asset nobody can freeze
After Russia’s reserves were frozen, other countries started reconsidering what a safe reserve is.
Limited supply is both the merit and the limit
It preserves value, and it is why gold cannot serve as the base of a monetary system in a growing economy.
The gold price is an index of distrust
When confidence in currencies falls, the price rises without needing any other cause.
