Gold is having a decent year, if only by not losing. Year-to-date returns highlight gold as one of the few asset classes in the green, albeit with a modest 2% return. For investors looking for hedges, should they allocate more to gold? My view is it depends on what you’re hedging against. Gold, along with every other asset class, is struggling with the Federal Reserve’s tightening cycle. That said, gold can still hedge the most chaotic and uncertain of events: war.
