What is a store of value?
A good store of value preserve the amount of goods / services money can buy over time. Example (simplified): - The average gold price in 1920 was $20.68 per ounce. Today it is worth $2,100 per ounce. A 100 fold increase. - The average house price in the US in 1920 was between $5,000 and $6,000. The average sales price of a new home in 2023 was $492,000. A 90 to 100 fold increase.

As highlighted by Tavi Costa:
The recent surge in gold prices, despite a lack of corresponding growth in assets managed by related ETFs, suggests that central banks' purchases have likely been the primary catalyst for the rally. Although there's been a record pace of metal accumulation, central banks currently hold a much smaller proportion of gold compared to historical levels. Back in the late 1970s and early 1980s, these institutions held around 80% of their balance sheet assets in gold, whereas today it's less than 20%. Will they continue to accumulate gold going forward? If we come back to the historical average (in terms of % of reserves), there is massive pent up demand ahead Source: Tavi Costa, Bloomberg
