Şeref Oğuz evaluates gold investment: 'The golden rule; he who has the gold makes the rules'

Şeref Oğuz evaluated the rise in the trend toward gold for savings. Noting an increase over the last three quarters, Oğuz stated, "Due to its characteristic as what we might call a global insecurity index, it is difficult for it to lose value at a point where geopolitical risks are escalating."

The points conveyed in Oğuz's article are as follows:

"Gold… The shimmer of a timeless value... What is the secret of this passion for gold? People ask in every era... The latest quarterly reports of ING Turkey's Savings Trends Research lift the veil on our thousands-year-old love affair with gold. Here it is, gold's throne in the heart of the saver; it sits at the top with 23.3%.

A 3-point increase compared to the previous quarter! This is the second-highest rate of savings ownership that has occurred since 2011. So, what do these figures tell us? Gold and cash kept under the mattress are at the top of savings preferences with 26% in the last quarter. Gold within the system follows it with 16%.

GOLD, THE METAL OF INSECURITY

But let's dig a little deeper; what are the reasons for gold being so popular? Why does the saver choose gold when making decisions about the future? Perhaps the answer is that gold is not just an investment tool, but also an inheritance, a keepsake, and a security.

For centuries, gold has been a symbol of insecurity for the people of these lands. Paper currencies are fleeting, stock markets experience ups and downs, and cryptocurrencies are tossed about by the waves of the virtual world, while gold manages to stand tall. As a symbol of trust, it always maintains its place under the mattress.

TWO QUESTIONS TWO ANSWERS - About gold…

¦ Why is gold so valuable?

Gold, as a historical symbol of insecurity, holds our economic, emotional, and cultural values together. Also, ornaments, jewelry… A bride's future security, the savings a housewife wears around her neck… In this age full of uncertainties, gold offers its investor a strong refuge.

¦ What does gold mean for savers?

A security, an inheritance, and a timeless value to be passed on to future generations… Due to its characteristic as what we might call a global insecurity index, it is difficult for it to lose value at a point where geopolitical risks are escalating… Even though it pauses or retreats from time to time, gold is always on the stage of history.

note - HAVE YOU TAKEN OUT YOUR SOCIAL INSURANCE?

When we look at the trend toward gold, it reveals that investment preferences are also a matter of culture. Gold is not just an economic security, but also a form of social insurance. Savers, in a way, build a bridge between the past and the future with gold. And this bridge becomes an indispensable path for those who want to walk with firm steps in the rugged economic landscape. With their preference for gold, investors are practically saying: “Yes, the world is changing, economies are fluctuating, but I have my gold, my fixed value, an investment that will never change.” That is why gold appears not just as an economic choice, but also as an expression of deep trust.

In this context, this unwavering trust in gold is not just an investment habit, but also a ritual in which a cultural heritage and a social memory are kept alive. Gold continues to be the saver's most popular choice because it is not only an economic but also an emotional investment; a value tested throughout history, always shining, unchanging...

And that is why, if you ask savers, gold is not just a mineral, but a trust; a value left by our ancestors that we will leave to future generations. The golden rule; he who has the gold makes the rules"
