Costco (COST) stock was up 0.25% last night, and the reason for the rise is attributed to the increasing value and interest in gold due to reasons such as record central bank buying, the dedollarization shift, geopolitical tensions, unsustainable U.S. government deficits, and the inverse relationship with the U.S. dollar.
