GOLD NO LONGER RARE?
China has sparked global debate after reports suggested scientists may have created gold through advanced laboratory processes, raising fears about what would happen if gold could ever be produced at scale.
To be clear—this is not factory-made gold flooding markets. What’s being discussed is experimental nuclear-level research, where atoms of other elements are theoretically transformed into gold under extreme conditions. The process is extraordinarily expensive, slow, and impractical for commercial use today.
However, the implication matters more than the reality. Gold’s value is built on one core idea: scarcity. Even the possibility that future technology could weaken that scarcity is enough to shake confidence across financial markets.
Central banks, hedge funds, and investors rely on gold as a safe-haven asset during crises. If trust in gold’s rarity is questioned—no matter how distant the technology—the ripple effects could impact currencies, reserves, and global financial stability.
For now, gold remains rare, controlled, and trusted.
But this story highlights a bigger truth: technology doesn’t need to arrive tomorrow to change markets today.
Sometimes, the fear of what could happen is enough.$XAU
