In 2025, the volatility of the gold price increased. However, it now appears to have normalized, meaning that gold is no more volatile than many other asset classes. As the World Gold Council has recently investigated and determined, volatility is back within the long-term average range. This means that gold continues to reduce overall risk when added to a diversified portfolio.
2025 was marked by uncertainty. Tariffs, inflation and geo-economic tensions were the order of the day. These uncertainties and risks fueled volatility in general. As a result, equities in particular became more volatile when tariffs were first announced. However, from today's perspective, volatility is returning to its usual average levels. According to the World Gold Council, the volatility of the gold price is now well below the level seen in previous periods with similarly strong price developments.
Overall, there have been short-term spikes in the gold price this year. However, these have always quickly returned to normal. Gold therefore has a resilience that is positive for portfolio diversification. If five percent of the portfolio consists of gold, this reduces the overall risk of the portfolio by just under five percent. This argues in favor of adding gold to the portfolio. The value of gold companies should not be neglected either. They benefit from leverage on rising gold prices, which we should see again in 2026.
