Damodaran's Skepticism on Gold: As gold prices exceed $4,300 an ounce, valuation expert Aswath Damodaran aligns with Warren Buffett's view that gold is not a true financial asset due to its lack of cash flows, categorizing it instead as a collectible influenced by market sentiment.
Gold's Value Determinants: Damodaran emphasizes that unlike financial assets such as stocks, which generate cash and can be valued, gold's price is driven by demand and supply dynamics, similar to rare collectibles like paintings.
Factors Behind Gold's Price Surge: The recent 50% increase in gold prices is attributed to global uncertainty and a growing mistrust of central banks, expanding the market for gold buyers despite its historical underperformance compared to stocks.
Current Gold Market Performance: As of the article's publication, gold was trading at $4,149.00 per ounce, showing significant gains over the past year, with various gold-linked ETFs also demonstrating strong performance.
