Gold Emerges as Indicator of Economic Uncertainty

The head of India's Reserve Bank, Sanjay Malhotra, says gold prices are now a good way to see how worried people are about the world's economy, like oil used to be.

Even though there are problems around the world, oil prices aren't changing much.

He also thinks that stock markets, especially those driven by tech stocks, might fall soon.

Gold prices are going up because of worries about things like the US government and interest rates.

Gold has gone up a lot in price over the last twenty years.
