Hello, again! – The iPhone/Gold Ratio 2024

“For the third consecutive year, Apple has not only kept iPhone prices steady but decreased them!” – This is what the headlines would read if you paid for your iPhone with gold. The iPhone 16 Pro with 1 TB of memory costs just 0.60 ounces of gold, which is 23% less than last year’s 0.78 ounces of gold for the iPhone 15 Pro, since the price of gold in US dollars has risen by an impressive 30.8% in the last 12 months, recording numerous new all-time highs since December 2023.

O’zapft is! The Gold/Oktoberfest Beer Ratio 2024

Tomorrow, Saturday, September 21, it’s that time again. The Mayor of Munich, Dieter Reiter, will perform the traditional beer tapping at the 189^th Oktoberfest.

The exuberant atmosphere on the Theresienwiese continues to be dampened by a glance at your wallet. Yet the exuberant atmosphere on the Theresienwiese will very likely be dampened by the prices. This year, a Maß of beer at the Oktoberfest costs up to EUR 15.30, thus exceeding EUR 15.00 for the first time. However, gold investors have no reason to complain, as the sharp rise in the price of gold over the past 12 months, with numerous new all-time highs, is filling more and more beer mugs despite the renewed price increase. At 148 Maß Oktoberfest beer per ounce of gold, gold investors are able to afford 29 more Maß than in 2023. This corresponds to an increase of almost 25%!
