Investing in gold is one of the key ways in which to protect against inflation, it has been suggested.

Main Street recommended the precious metal to consumers in the US, explaining that the risk of inflation is increasing as more money is injected into the market.

The portal noted that a range of steps can be taken to protect assets, with gold investment being one of the safest.

"No matter what happens to currency, there is always value in gold," it stated, adding that those who buy bullion in the form of coins should be sure to store it securely.

Writing for Market Oracle this week, Adam Brochert also encouraged investors to choose gold coins or bars.

He said stocks, corporate bonds and real estate are all unstable assets due to the uncertainty caused by the economic climate, but explained that the precious metal remains a "reliable long-term" choice.
