What investors need to understand about the value of gold

SINGAPORE (Nov 3): How does one value the price of gold without a coupon or dividend, and no expected earnings or book-to-value ratios?

To Juan Carlos Artigas, the World Gold Council’s director of investment research, valuing gold is “intuitive” in essence.

“[Gold] equilibrium price is where demand and supply meet. Understanding the underlying drivers and interactions of gold demand and supply should therefore give investors a robust framework to determine the value of gold,” says Artigas in the autumn edition of Gold Investor, which was published by the World Gold Council in October.
