What does gold mean?

Gold is a precious metal that can be used to make jewelry, ornaments and works of art. It has been used throughout history as a unit of currency or valuables, and its price can be affected by market supply and demand and economic policies.

In addition to physical gold, gold has an important place in modern financial markets. Trading gold can be done through the spot market or the financial derivatives market, such as futures contracts and exchange-traded funds.

Gold is also symbolized in different ways in different cultures. For example, in traditional Chinese culture, gold represents wealth and good fortune, so it has become a tradition to give gold jewelry at weddings, birthdays and other celebrations.
