History

Historical Context

The Bretton Woods system, established in 1944, pegged the U.S. dollar to gold at $35 per ounce. However, by 1971, economic pressures led President Nixon to abandon this system, resulting in fluctuating gold prices. From $35 in 1971, gold surged to over $800 by 1980, highlighting its role as a safe haven during economic uncertainty, a trend projected to continue.
