After gold per ounce fell to its lowest level in the last 13 months, İslam Memiş warned investors, saying that those who tie all their savings to a single investment instrument are at great risk. Drawing attention with the phrase "the investors who will be most buried under the rubble," Memiş warned those who put all their money into gold, silver, or the stock market, while also stating that he does not expect a permanent decline in inflation.
While the sharp decline in gold prices makes investors uneasy, a striking warning came from financial analyst İslam Memiş. Addressing investors after spot gold saw its lowest level in the last 13 months, Memiş stated that those tying all their savings to a single investment instrument are under great risk and said, "The investors who will be most caught under the rubble are those who put all their money into one asset and wait for months."
SHARP DECLINE IN GOLD PRICES
On the last trading day of the week, investors' eyes turned to gold prices. As gold, which lost value sharply under the influence of developments in global markets, retreated to the lowest levels of the recent period, investors also began to research how to evaluate their savings. Inflation data in the US coming in above expectations, statements from US Federal Reserve (Fed) members supporting tight monetary policy, and the strengthening of the dollar created pressure on gold prices.
SPOT GOLD SAW ITS LOWEST LEVEL IN 13 MONTHS
Spot gold, trading at 3,918 dollars as of 06:05 Turkey time on Friday, November 13, lost 3.8 percent on a weekly basis. Spot gold, which fell to as low as 3,853 dollars in transactions the previous day, tested its lowest level since October 2025. The bargain hunting that followed the sharp selling provided only a limited recovery in prices.
GRAM GOLD IS TRADING AT 6,310 LIRA
The volatility in global markets was also reflected in domestic gold prices. Gram gold, which started the last trading day of the week with a rise, traded at 6,310 lira in the morning hours. At the same time, quarter gold was offered for sale at 10,422 lira and Republic gold at 41,537 lira. The sharp fluctuation in gold prices brought the risk management of investors, especially those evaluating their savings in precious metals, back onto the agenda.
WARNING FROM İSLAM MEMİŞ: "THOSE WHO WILL BE CAUGHT UNDER THE RUBBLE"
Gold and money markets expert İslam Memiş touched on the points investors should pay attention to after spot gold retreated to its lowest level in 13 months. Stating that uncertainties in the global economy continue, Memiş expressed that investors should focus not only on making gains but also on protecting their existing assets. Emphasizing that those who put all their savings into a single investment instrument may face serious risks, Memiş used the following statements: "The investor will question this. In an environment like this in the world, how should I protect my assets, where is the safe haven? Have I made my preparations? The investors who will be most caught under the rubble are those who put all their money into one asset and wait for months. Buying only gold, investing only in the stock market, investing only in silver is wrong. Choosing a single investment instrument is very risky."
HE DREW ATTENTION TO THOSE WHO TIE ALL THEIR SAVINGS TO A SINGLE INVESTMENT INSTRUMENT
The most important point highlighted in Memiş's statements was that diversification should be made in investing. He drew attention to the fact that remaining tied to a single investment instrument such as gold, silver, or the stock market could leave investors defenseless against sharp price movements that may occur in the markets. Stating that it is risky for investors to evaluate all their assets in a single area, especially in periods when global economic uncertainties increase, Memiş emphasized that financial decisions should be made by taking current economic conditions into account.
HE ALSO WARNED ABOUT INFLATION
İslam Memiş also touched on the global inflation outlook in his statements. Expressing that there is no significant decline in central banks' inflation forecasts, Memiş said that short-term decreases may not mean a permanent improvement. Memiş used the statements, "In my opinion, even if countries' inflation figures decline in the short term, I do not expect a decrease on the permanent inflation side."
