Insider Today: The world's best golf courses

8 most unique architectural marvels in the world

<ul class="summary-list"><li>The price of gold hit all-time highs this week.</li><li>Falling interest rates and rising geopolitical tensions boost gold's appeal as a safe haven asset.</li></ul>The price of <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://markets.businessinsider.com/commodities/gold-price">gold</a> has soared this year.The precious metal hit a record high of $2,772 per troy ounce this week and has risen in six of the past seven weeks.With year-to-date gains of about 33%, gold returns have outpaced the broader stock market, including the tech-heavy <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://markets.businessinsider.com/index/nasdaq_100">Nasdaq 100</a>, by about 10 percentage points.And since the bull market in stocks began in October 2022, gold has outpaced equity gains, returning 67% compared to the <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://markets.businessinsider.com/index/s&amp;p_500">S&amp;P 500's</a> return of about 63%, according to data from YCharts.Those superior returns make the metal one of the world's hottest investments.The largest gold ETF, the SPDR Gold Shares, has $78 billion in assets under management and has seen about $5 billion of inflows in the past six months, according to data from ETF.com.Physical gold is also having a moment. Costco has consistently sold out of gold bars when they become available on their website and Wells Fargo estimates that <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/costco-gold-bars-silver-coins-monthly-sales-wells-fargo-bullion-2024-4">Costco sells up to $200 million in gold bars</a> and silver coins to its members each month.It's been a perfect storm for the yellow metal, and the outlook suggests more gains ahead. Here's what's going on.<h3 id="5edb3548-699e-4d4d-ba18-d306c30fcf12">Demand from central banks</h3>Global central banks have been on a gold-buying spree over the past few years.According to the World Gold Council, central banks purchased a record 483 tons of gold in the first half of the year. Central banks from Turkey, India, and China topped the list of the biggest buyers.Part of the surge in demand is from countries that want to diversify their holdings away from the US dollar. "We believe that the tripling in central bank purchases since mid-2022 on fears about US financial sanctions and US sovereign debt is structural and will continue," <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://markets.businessinsider.com/news/commodities/gold-price-outlook-buy-continued-rally-next-year-2025-goldman-2024-9">Goldman Sachs said</a> in a note last month.This dynamic has been on display since Russia invaded Ukraine in 2022, as America sought to inflict maximum economic damage on Russia via sanctions. But it's harder to implement sanctions against a country that is less reliant on the dollar, and one way to be less reliant on the dollar is to buy gold.It is a dynamic that the US should be closely monitoring, according to economist Mohamed El-Erian.El-Erian wrote <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.ft.com/content/b5fb1e6b-bb8d-4ab5-9c92-f1f6fc40a54b?utm_source=substack&amp;utm_medium=emailhttps://www.ft.com/content/b5fb1e6b-bb8d-4ab5-9c92-f1f6fc40a54b?utm_source=substack&amp;utm_medium=email">in an op-ed for the FT</a> this week that the persistent rise in gold "captures an increasingly persistent behavioural trend among China and 'middle power' countries.""There is also interest in exploring possible alternatives to the dollar-based payments system that has been at the core of the international architecture for some 80 years."Russia has had some success with this, as it's managed to navigate its economy away from a full-fledged downturn after the US imposed wide-ranging sanctions in 2022.Russia's ability to steer its de-dollarized economy away from a crisis could give other countries confidence to lessen their dependence on the dollar, which ultimately benefits gold."What is at stake here is not just the erosion of the dollar's dominant role but also a gradual change in the operation of the global system," El-Erian said. "As it develops deeper roots, this risks materially fragmenting the global system and eroding the international influence of the dollar and the US financial system.<h3 id="8959c97e-7efe-42f8-a1a3-3fa362c5ac51">Geopolitical tensions</h3>Gold is <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://markets.businessinsider.com/news/commodities/gold-safe-haven-treasurys-us-national-debt-bofa-fiscal-expansion-2024-10">considered a safe haven asset</a> due to its long-standing history as a stable store of value.So when geopolitical tensions rise, investors tend to flock to the shiny metal, and right now, there is no shortage of reasons to be worried.From Russia's war against Ukraine to the escalating clashes in the Middle East to China's long-running threat against Taiwan's independence, geopolitical tensions are rising, not falling.What's more, soaring US debt means that Treasurys—another historical safe haven asset—might not be so risk-free anymore."Gold looks to be the last 'safe haven' asset standing, incentivising traders including central banks to increase exposure," <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://markets.businessinsider.com/news/commodities/gold-safe-haven-treasurys-us-national-debt-bofa-fiscal-expansion-2024-10">Bank of America said</a> in a note this month. <h3 id="29ec9208-7951-47bd-89c8-75f2d6320ca9">The Trump trade</h3>The <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://markets.businessinsider.com/news/stocks/donald-trump-trade-rally-betting-markets-kamala-harris-bitcoin-djt-2024-10">Trump trade has picked up steam recently</a> as the former president's odds of winning the election have risen, and gold has been a big beneficiary.That's because a potential Trump presidency is expected to be accompanied by a soaring government deficit and a fast-growing pile of debt, which would further drive concerns about a rebound in inflation and the sustainability of the US dollar."If you're worried about fiscal profligacy, financial repression, and attacks on Fed independence, gold would be an attractive asset," economist Davix Oxley of Capital Economics said on Friday.Even if Trump doesn't win the election, the deficit is likely to grow, setting gold up well for more gains, according to Interactive Brokers chief strategist Steve Sosnick."It's not as though either candidate is preaching fiscal discipline, and the Fed seems willing to keep cutting even if inflation remains a bit above target. So there is a thought that gold could be a viable alternative if rates rise and the economy remains sound. And if the economy isn't sound it could still be a good store of value," Sosnick told Business Insider."<h3 id="dadb04c2-defd-4fe4-a269-2b48d277b4de">Interest rates</h3>According to data from the World Gold Council, falling interest rates have historically benefited gold prices, with the commodity rising as much as 10% in the six months after the Federal Reserve's first rate cut.With the Fed expected to cut interest rates multiple times over the next year, lower rates should serve as a tailwind for gold prices.While interest rates<a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/mortgage-rate-increase-since-federal-reserve-cut-interest-rates-housing-2024-10"> actually jumped since the Fed's first rate cut</a> last month, with the 10-year Treasury yield hitting its highest level since July this week, gold prices have continued to rise.That's a sign that gold investors are more focused on the global interest-rate path, which is pointing lower as global central banks look poised to loosen monetary policy.The People's Bank of China cut rates by 25 basis points this week, while the Bank of Canada cut by 50 basis points. The European Central lowered rates by 25 basis points last week, and economists say they see the Bank of England <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.cnbc.com/2024/10/22/why-economists-see-the-uk-cutting-interest-rates-more-substantially.html">set to deliver bigger rate cuts</a> than previously expected by markets.

How gold became one of the world's hottest investments

<ul class="summary-list"><li>The <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/guides/tickets/how-to-buy-world-series-tickets-yankees-dodgers-mlb-2024">Dodgers and Yankees</a> will face off in the MLB 2024 World Series.</li><li>Behind the teams are billionaire owners Mark Walter and the Steinbrenner family, respectively.</li></ul>When the <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/yankees-dodgers-rivalry-history-world-series">Dodgers and Yankees</a> take the field to battle it out for the 120th World Series championship, the players won't be the only ones with trophies on the line.Behind the teams are their billionaire owners, who have built two of baseball's most valuable franchises.<a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/magic-johnson-may-be-the-new-face-of-the-dodgers-but-this-is-the-real-owner-2012-3">Mark Walter, the CEO of investment firm Guggenheim Partners,</a> is the Dodgers' controlling owner. The financier is worth $6 billion, according to Forbes.In 2012, Walter led a team of investors, which included now billionaire <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/nba-magic-johnson-billionaire-forbes-nike-deal-turned-down-billion-2023-10">Magic Johnson</a> and former Atlanta Braves president Stan Kasten, among others, in putting together a<a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/report-group-led-by-magic-johnson-buys-dodgers-for-2-billion-2012-3"> $2.15 billion bid for the Los Angeles team</a> and the land around its stadium. At the time, the deal broke records with a sales price more than double that of the previous highest MLB team sale.Under the new ownership, the Dodgers underwent a turnaround. Decisions were made to appeal to fans' in-stadium experience — parking prices were lowered, for example; there were investments in the Dodgers' farm system and its roster; and since 2013, the team has made the playoffs every year, including in 2020, when it won its first World Series in over 30 years."I'm not trying to save a dollar," Walter told <a target="_blank" href="https://www.latimes.com/sports/dodgers/la-xpm-2012-jul-25-la-sp-dn-dodgers-acquire-hanley-ramirez-20120725-story.html">The Los Angeles Times</a> in 2012. "I'd rather say we have a great team and maybe spend a little too much."In the 12 years since Walter's group purchased the Dodgers, the team's value has nearly tripled to $6.3 billion, and in the last year alone, its value has increased 20%, according to <a target="_blank" href="https://d3data.sportico.com/MLBValuations2024/MLBValuationsList.html">Sportico</a>.Unlike the likes of Walter and Johnson, who purchased the Dodgers after becoming wealthy, the billionaires behind the Yankees are rich because of the team.The <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/george-steinbrenners-purchase-of-new-york-yankees-paid-off-2015-3">Steinbrenner family has owned the Yankees</a> for decades. George Steinbrenner led a group that bought the team from CBS for about $10 million in 1973, and over the next 27 years, he expanded his stake to 57%.Now, the team is owned by George's kids, Hank Steinbrenner, Jessica Steinbrenner, Hal Steinbrenner, and Jennifer Steinbrenner Swindal. The siblings are each worth $1.5 billion, per Forbes.The bulk of the Steinbrenners' fortune is tied up in the Yankees, which is MLB's most valuable franchise, worth $7.93 billion, according to <a target="_blank" href="https://d3data.sportico.com/MLBValuations2024/MLBValuationsList.html">Sportico</a>. In addition to owning the team, the Steinbrenner family owns more than 25% of the franchise's YES Network, as well as stakes in Major League Soccer's New York City FC, stadium operations company Legends Hospitality, and Italian soccer club AC Milan, Forbes reported.Professional sports teams have become <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/10-billionaires-who-are-sports-team-owners-2024-5">popular toys for the superrich</a> — and good investments, as the spike in the Dodgers and Yankee valuations shows. In recent decades, the valuations of US sports franchises have outpaced the S&amp;P 500, according to <a target="_blank" href="https://pitchbook.com/news/articles/private-equity-sports-investment-dashboard">PitchBook</a>.The <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/top-private-equity-firms-investing-in-sports-teams-leagues-media-2024-4">growing valuations</a> are due to streaming services driving up the cost of broadcast rights, the influx of revenue from sports betting, and the asset's recession-proof reliability."I've got a company that no matter how bad it does, I don't lose a customer. No matter how much I underperform, I still have that customer. That's a pretty unique asset. And so that's why we're investing in sports," billionaire Marc Lasry, who sold his stake in the Milwaukee Bucks last year, told <a target="_blank" href="https://www.sportico.com/business/finance/2024/coffey-talk-marc-lasry-1234801999/">Sportico</a> earlier this month on owning a team.<a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/rich-sports-team-owners-investing-private-equity-2023-9">Banks have seen a flurry of activity from private equity firms and billionaires</a> alike who want to get into sports — so much so that Goldman Sachs launched a new unit to advise on sports deals last year.Sports teams are "assets that used to be thought of as nice-to-have trophy assets that you could talk about at cocktail parties," Ivo Voynov, the head of sports finance at Citi Private Bank, told BI last year. Now, there's a sense of "building up real companies around these assets."

In contrast, Apple traded up less than 1%, giving it a market valuation of $3.52 trillion.Nvidia stock has since pared its gains to about 1% and is trading neck-and-neck with Apple's valuation, at $3.52 trillion compared to Apple's $3.53 trillion at 1:24 p.m., according to data from YCharts.The massive size of Nvidia is a testament to its quick ascent since OpenAI released its first version of ChatGPT in November 2022.Since then, shares of Nvidia, which supplies the technology world with AI-enabling GPU chips, have added $3.1 trillion to their market valuation, with their stock price soaring more than 740%.<a target="_blank" class="" href="https://markets.businessinsider.com/news/stocks/nvidia-stock-price-prediction-nvda-blackwell-demand-outlook-chips-ai-2024-10">Wall Street believes the gains can continue,</a> with some analysts expecting the stock to eclipse a $4 trillion valuation soon.Bank of America analysts raised their Nvidia price target to $190 last week, citing strong upside and a <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://markets.businessinsider.com/news/stocks/nvidia-stock-upside-growth-ai-chips-demand-bofa-2024-10">"generational opportunity" </a>as it grows its lead in the AI space.

Nvidia dethrones Apple as the world's most valuable company

What potato dishes look like in 24 places around the world

Dear readers, As we approach yet another weekend, here are some key developments across various sectors. Nvidia has surpassed Apple to become the world’s largest company, driven by the AI boom. Meanwhile, the US Federal Reserve cut interest rates, by 25 basis points to 4.75%, the second such reduction in 2024.
