While inflation has been relatively stable, yields have fallen causing real yields to fall. That is the key driver for gold.

In 2014, I first modelled gold as a bond with the following characteristics:
‒ It is zero-coupon because it pays no interest.
‒ It has a long duration because it lasts forever.
‒ It is inflation linked, as historic purchasing power has demonstrated.
‒ It has zero credit risk, assuming it is held in physical form.
‒ It was issued by God.

Falling real rates have been the long-term driver, with corrections when then have spiked.

Gold premiums to fair value peaked in 2011. 2008 excepted, it tends to rise during bull markets and fall during bear markets.

Gold deviations from fair value are also linked to implied volatility. GVZ spikes have coincided with both premiums and discounts.
