Inflation Hedge
Gold IRA Glossary
An asset expected to hold its purchasing power when consumer prices rise. Gold is widely described as an inflation hedge because its supply grows slowly and its price history spans centuries, though its record over shorter periods is mixed and prices can fall during inflationary stretches. The label describes a claim about an asset, not a guarantee.
