For years, gold was viewed primarily as&nbsp;a&nbsp;safe haven in&nbsp;stormy times.

When does gold tend to&nbsp;rise, and&nbsp;when does its price fall? A&nbsp;precious metals expert explains the&nbsp;market forces at&nbsp;play

What does a&nbsp;polar expedition to Svalbard have in common with&nbsp;investment gold? Our colleague and&nbsp;chief analyst Ing.&nbsp;Petr Kohoutek,&nbsp;MBA, is setting off on an expedition few would undertake lightly. Ahead of&nbsp;him lie three weeks in&nbsp;the&nbsp;Arctic wilderness of&nbsp;Svalbard: a&nbsp;place that does not forgive improvisation, underestimation, or&nbsp;poor preparation. A&nbsp;place with no room for&nbsp;mistakes. A&nbsp;place where discipline, trust, planning, and&nbsp;the&nbsp;ability to&nbsp;cope with&nbsp;the&nbsp;unpredictable are what count.

Certainty comes from being ready before crisis hits

Gold is traditionally seen as a&nbsp;stable investment in uncertain times, making periods of&nbsp;price correction or&nbsp;stagnation a&nbsp;natural point of&nbsp;interest for investors considering when to&nbsp;enter the&nbsp;market. Looking at&nbsp;historical data, these periods are often viewed as potential entry points.

Making the&nbsp;most&nbsp;of &nbsp;a&nbsp;moment when the&nbsp;market gives gold room to grow

In recent weeks, we have seen movements in&nbsp;the gold market that may, at&nbsp;first glance, look worrying. The gold price has fallen by up to around 27% from its peak levels. For many investors, this kind of&nbsp;correction is cause for concern, but when viewed in a&nbsp;wider context, it starts to&nbsp;make more sense.

Is now the time to&nbsp;take a&nbsp;closer look at&nbsp;gold?

IBIS&nbsp;InGold has reached a&nbsp;major milestone, with&nbsp;the&nbsp;total profit made by clients under iiplan®&nbsp;contracts passing CZK&nbsp;10&nbsp;billion (EUR&nbsp;400&nbsp;million). To&nbsp;celebrate, the&nbsp;company ran a&nbsp;<a href="https://ibisingold.com/en/article/the-gold-reserve-makes-more-and-more-sense-ibis-ingold-celebrates-czk-10">competition to win an investment gold bar</a>. The&nbsp;winner collected her prize in person, with her family in tow.
