Global trends: gold is becoming cheaper

On the international market, the price of an ounce of gold has decreased by 1% — to $3,941.65. For comparison: on October 20, this price reached a record $4,381.21. Thus, since the beginning of the year, gold has fallen by more than 50%.

NBU changed the price for banking metal

The National Bank has also revised the purchase prices for banking gold: one gram costs 5,413.10 UAH, which is significantly lower than the figure a month ago when the price exceeded 5,800 UAH.

Analysts note that the price decline may continue if economic tensions between the USA and China continue to ease. This could have a significant impact on the international market and the economy of Ukraine, as gold is traditionally considered a reliable asset in unstable times.
