Yep, just the standard account.
Gold and Oil are rising because of US recession fears / no rate cuts and geopolitical issues; Ukraine, Israel, Iran.
Stocks on the NYSE/S&P500/Nasdaq have taken a bit of a tumble in the last week due to the aforementioned concerns so the big hedge fund managers are hoovering up gold; it's what they do when things look a bit shaky, a 'safe haven' for them until things stabilise. So yeah, gold at all time highs at the moment.
Cheers - I'll have to take another look at mine and perhaps stuff some money in it then!
Yes, I was assuming those factors re. the gold price. What surprises me however is the fact that all these things have been on the table for quite some time now, with gold remaining pretty stable throughout until the last 6wks or so when it's rocketed. The only time it's seen broadly similar growth was post-Brexit vote and during Covid; both of which were massively influential events and I've not seen any developments of obviously similar magnitude unfolding within the context of the obvious factors at play.
Again, makes me think that some people know something that most of us don't.. yet.
EDIT: Just had a look at the Wise interest; which isn't as straightforward as you'd expect on a current account as it's predicated on the balance actively being invested into funds, with associated risk to capital..
