 Central banks invest in gold for many reasons. There are well known reasons such as - gold’s role as a safe haven asset and - an effective portfolio diversifier. But the survey results also reveal that there are other important reasons relevant to central banks, such as - gold’s ability to improve risk-adjusted returns and - its use as valuable collateral both of which were viewed as relevant by 71% of central banks.  moreover, - Low U.S. interest rates, - the Trump administration’s unpredictable combativeness and - insatiable appetite for debt, and - geopolitical tensions. These central bank buyers are predominantly from countries that stand in direct economic or political opposition to the U.S., and so are keen to move away from the U.S. dollar as a foreign reserve currency. are making gold look like a safer asset than U.S. debt instruments . A few more years of this, and it’s possible that more countries’ international reserves will be structured like

While the "parabolic surge" in the price of gold over the last couple of months is concerning, Lloyd Thomas, professor of economics at Kansas State University, says the rise is also worrisome over a longer period of time. " Gold is considered a good hedge against inflation ," he said, "But the increase in gold price has far outpaced inflation, especially during the last decade." Most seasoned investors have some allocation to precious metals in their portfolios, most often gold. They believe that such an allocation protects them, as it is a hedge, or an insurance policy, against the proliferation of paper (fiat) money by the world's largest central banks. Fiat money is not backed by real physical assets.   He noted that inflation has only picked up 2.4% on an annual basis during the last 10 years, but the price of the yellow metal has climbed more than 21% a year during the same time period. Unless higher inflation -- to the tune o

Samsung: the 146" TV, aka the Wall , showcased in CES2019 MicroLED shares a number of traits with OLED technology, making comparisons a little easier than LCD vs OLED debates. For starters, both have LED in their name, meaning that they’re both constructed from light emitting diodes. The two are “self-emitting” technologies, so each red, green, and blue sub-pixel produces its own light, unlike LCD, which requires a dedicated backlight.  architecture TFT vs OLED vs MicroLED Where microLED differs from OLED is in the makeup of the LED materials. The O in OLED stands for organic and refers to the organic materials used in light producing part of the pixel stack. MicroLED technology changes this to an inorganic Gallium Nitride (GaN) material, which is typically found in regular LED lighting. This switch also reduces the need for a polarizing and encapsulation layer, making panels thinner. As a result, MicroLED components are tiny, hence the name,
