In this broad-ranging discussion, Head of Commodities Research for nab Markets, Lachlan Shaw shares his thoughts on:

  • Whether gold has ceased to be a defensive asset – or even a store of value
  • The drivers of the gold price, and how they’ve changed over time
  • How to access gold (directly, through an ETF or via a gold mining stock) and
