LONDON, 30 May 2018 – Trading news and views website The Armchair Trader today publishes exclusive analysis of gold's "safe haven" credentials from BullionVault director of research Adrian Ash.
Aimed at private UK investors looking to trade financial derivatives like CFDs and spread bets, The Armchair Trader was launched in 2010
"Day-to-day, buying gold to protect against short-term volatility in the stock market has been no better than a coin toss" for UK investors, writes Adrian.
"Since the FTSE 100 index was launched in 1984, it has risen in 55% of all weeks. Gold rose 52% of the time when the FTSE went up, and it rose 49% of the time when the FTSE fell.
"Across longer time frames however, gold has tended to rise when equities have fallen."
