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.

In the world of finance, the word “risk” is inseparable from the concept of investment. It is generally thought that leaving money in the bank is a safer alternative, whereas investing entails venturing into uncertain territory. However, this perception is misleading: inflation reduces the value of money that is just deposited, making it one of the riskiest long-term decisions. In investments, risk is the probability that the results are negative from what is expected result

February was another extraordinary month for gold, with an exceptional gain of US $541 dollars per ounce, an 11.4% growth in 30 days.

Gold has moved to the center of the global financial conversation. JP Morgan recently raised its forecast for the price of the yellow metal to US $6,300 per ounce by the end of 2026, supported by strong structural demand from central banks and investors, even in a highly volatile environment. Beyond short-term movements, the institution believes that gold’s price advance into 2026 reflects a profound transformation in how governments and investors protect and diversify their

Since 2022, artificial intelligence has captured a disproportionate share of the financial market: companies linked to AI (Artificial Intelligence) currently account for 90% of corporate capital investment and 80% of the growth of the S&P 500 index. If this apparent AI financial bubble were to burst, how would gold prices respond? For years, major technology companies expanded with relatively low capital expenditures and limited debt, which earned them exceptional financial
