There is substantial evidence to support the view that gold is a good long run hedge against inflation. In the short-run, the gold price may deviate from its long run inflation hedge value, and may take a number of years to revert to this constant. Gold is not a perfect hedge against inflation, but it is the only hedge that has been tried and tested over centuries that have seen currencies rise and fall.
