  • Surging gold prices, driven by geopolitical unease and central bank demand, led to a significant revenue surge for Indonesian gold retailer Hartadinata Abadi, making it the biggest climber on the Fortune Southeast Asia 500.
  • The article highlights a shift in investor behavior towards gold as a safe-haven asset, with both institutional and retail investors, including younger demographics in Asia, increasing their allocation to gold and other precious metals.
