Gold belongs among the assets which show low or negative correlations with the markets for fundamental financial assets, and can serve as an alternative form of capital investment. Therefore, it becomes material to assess the impact of these markets on the gold market (prices), and the correlations existing between them. Investors’ decisions to allocate capital in these markets determine the kind and direction of causation between the assets in question. The aim of this article is to assess the causality between the rates of return on investments in gold and in the following assets: stocks, bonds, and real estate, represented by the corresponding market indices. The research covered the period 1997-2018. The analysis employed the VAR model to test linear Granger (non)causality and the variance decomposition. Apart from two cases of unidirectional causality, i.e. from bond returns to gold, and from gold returns to real estate, no other types of causality occurred, which except for these cases, implies that changes in gold prices did not impact on investors’ decisions of engaging capital on other analyzed markets, and vice versa.

Złoto należy do aktywów nisko lub ujemnie skorelowanych z rynkami podstawowych aktywów finansowych i może stanowić alternatywną formę lokaty kapitału. Istotne stają się ocena wpływu tych rynków na rynek (cenę) złota oraz ich wzajemne relacje. Decyzje inwestorów o alokacji kapitału na wymienionych rynkach określają rodzaj i kierunek przyczynowości tych aktywów. Celem artykułu jest ocena zależności przyczynowych między stopami zwrotu z inwestycji w złoto i w następujące aktywa: akcje, obligacje i nieruchomości, reprezentowane przez odpowiadające im indeksy giełdowe. Badania obejmują lata 1997-2018. W analizie posłużono się modelem VAR, stanowiącym podstawę do zastosowania testu liniowego nie-przyczynowości Grangera oraz dekompozycji wariancji. Poza dwoma przypadkami jednostronnej przyczynowości: od stóp zwrotu z obligacji do złota i od stóp zwrotu ze złota do nieruchomości nie stwierdzono innych rodzajów przyczynowości. Pomijając te sytuacje, oznacza to, że zmiany ceny złota nie wpływały na decyzje inwestorów, angażujących kapitały na pozostałych rynkach badanych aktywów i odwrotnie.
