Gold: A Strong Hedge Amid NZ Dollar Weakness

Jan 13, 2025

As the New Zealand dollar continues to decline, investment expert Louis Boulanger, founder of LB Now, highlights gold as a robust hedging option. According to Boulanger, "Gold is money," offering protection against the erosion of purchasing power caused by currency depreciation.

In 2024, the NZ dollar fell 11% against the US dollar and has already dropped nearly 1% in early 2025. Conversely, gold surged 42% in NZ dollar terms last year, driven by declining interest rates, geopolitical tensions, and economic uncertainty. The currency’s ongoing weakness underscores the appeal of gold as a safe haven for investors seeking stability and value preservation during volatile economic periods.
