Using a market-based measure of ambiguity rooted in the volatility of probabilities, the analysis finds a consistent and significant positive effect on gold’s convenience yield. The findings remain robust across alternative uncertainty measures, model specifications, and extended time periods, including an ambiguity measure derived from the US Dollar index and daily range spot gold data.
