Definition ∞ Gold prices refer to the market value of gold, typically quoted per troy ounce, reflecting its demand and supply dynamics in global markets. Gold is historically considered a safe-haven asset, often sought during economic uncertainty or inflationary periods. Its price movements are influenced by macroeconomic factors, geopolitical events, and central bank policies. Gold remains a benchmark for traditional store-of-value assets.
Context ∞ Crypto news often references gold prices when discussing the narrative of Bitcoin as “digital gold” or comparing the store-of-value properties of cryptocurrencies to traditional assets. Fluctuations in gold’s value can influence investor sentiment towards digital assets, particularly during periods of market volatility. The relative performance of gold and cryptocurrencies is a frequent topic of comparison.
