Scenes that once seemed confined to history books have come back to life along the slopes of California’s Sierra Nevada. People equipped with rubber boots, gold pans, and metal detectors now populate a landscape where nostalgia meets modernity. The gold rush has not only returned, but has also evolved into a curious blend of tourism industry and a digital phenomenon. The relationship between the price of gold and the resurgence of prospectors is direct...

Enthusiasm for Bitcoin reached its peak in October 2025, when it approached US$126,000. Its price — driven by institutional investor adoption, the launch of ETFs (exchange-traded funds) tied to its valuation, and the “digital gold” narrative — seemed to announce a new era. However, as soon as the market conditions and the risk appetite shifted, so did its performance. While Bitcoin underwent a sharp correction in valuation, gold reaffirmed its historical role. And in that dif

In April 2026, gold traded at historically elevated levels but experienced significant volatility throughout the month. Gold closed April slightly below its opening level at US $4,622 per ounce, marking a second consecutive month of modest declines after reaching earlier peaks. Overall, the metal declined by US $46 per ounce during the month, equivalent to a 1.1% loss over 30 days.

On these dates, we celebrate our children with gifts, experiences, or unforgettable moments. However, within this context, it is worth asking ourselves: What are we building today tto protect their future tomorrow? As money loses value over time, building the foundations of their wealth is no longer just an option—it has become a responsibility.

Wealth is a matter of preservation. This idea, deeply rooted in Japanese culture, finds one of its most beautiful expressions in kintsugi, the art of restoring ceramic pieces with gold. More than a craft technique, it embodies a philosophy of heritage: true value is protected, honored, and strengthened over time. Around 400 years ago, the city of Edo—now Tokyo—faced a severe environmental crisis. Rapid urbanization caused massive deforestation, recurring floods, and resour

In the financial landscape of 2026, the key principle that “gold is the thermometer of geopolitical uncertainty” has never been more relevant. While traditional assets such as stocks and bonds tend to suffer during the volatility of armed conflicts, gold maintains its position as one of the pillars of wealth preservation. Unlike previous crises, the current war tensions resulting from the attack by Israel and the United States against Iran have introduced variables that forc

In March 2026, gold experienced its biggest monthly decline in over a decade, falling approximately 11.8% over the course of the month, its worst monthly performance since 2008. After reaching an all-time record high of US $5,419 per ounce (Mar-2), prices sharply corrected as the market responded to a "perfect storm" in the global economy:

In Vatican architecture, gold can be as thin as a sheet suspended in the air and still produce a monumental effect. The technique known as gold leaf transformed domes and walls into surfaces of light, making visible a central idea of Christianity: eternity. Gold leaf is an ultra-thin sheet of pure gold — generally 22 to 24 karats — obtained through a traditional process of progressive hammering until it reaches microscopic thickness. It can measure less than one micron thick

In 2025, central banks sent a clear message: gold is no longer an occasional safe haven, it has become a permanent strategic asset. Even with prices at record highs and a slightly slower pace of purchases compared to previous years, the accumulation of gold reserves remained firm. In a complex global environment, gold offers something few assets can guarantee simultaneously: trust, sovereignty, and stability. The annual report from the World Gold Council shows that gold purc

What happens to gold when an energy crisis shakes the world? As of February 28, 2026, following the outbreak of war between the United States and Israel against Iran, energy markets once again entered turbulent territory. Military strikes in the region and the risk of supply disruptions pushed oil prices above $100 per barrel, raising concerns among investors and analysts about the potential impact on the global economy.
