A report from Singapore Bullion Market Association, spoke about the Metals Report issued in London which said: "Turning to 2021, Metals Focus remains bullish towards gold.

Key Points: 
  • A report from Singapore Bullion Market Association, spoke about the Metals Report issued in London which said: "Turning to 2021, Metals Focus remains bullish towards gold.
  • Low rates and yields are typically positive for gold, as they minimize the opportunity cost of holding the zero-yielding metal.
  • While this has been a boon for investors, it also amplifies their need to diversify portfolios and gold will remain an instrument to do so."
  • Given Nicaragua\'s prolific history of gold production, it\'s somewhat surprising how much of the country remains relatively under-explored much beyond the known producing and historic gold mines.
