Q: A portion of my portfolio is invested in gold, and I have enjoyed the ride that more than tripled the price of gold since February 2024, when the European Commission officially approved regulations allowing the use of proceeds from frozen Russian assets to arm Ukraine and stated that these assets would remain frozen until Russia repays damages to Ukraine after the war.
Even though I am pessimistic that Trump’s efforts will bring an end to this war - there is too much financial interest in the U.S. and Europe to continue it for as long as possible - there is still a chance he will succeed, and I expect that the price of gold may come down significantly following peace.
As PHYS doesn’t have options, is buying GLD puts the best way to hedge gold prices? Any other suggestions?
