Gold

Since ancient times gold has been coveted for its unique blend of rarity, beauty, and near indestructibility. Nations have embraced it as a store of wealth and a medium of international exchange, and individuals have sought to possess it as insurance against the day-to-day uncertainties of paper money.
Today, the principal gold producing countries include South Africa, the United States, Australia, Canada, China, Indonesia, and Russia.

Gold futures are hedging tools for commercial producers and users of gold. They also provide global price discovery and opportunities for portfolio diversification.
