Gold Reclaims Its Throne as a Store of Value, Surging Past $3,000 Per Ounce
Mar 14, 2025 at 07:25 pm
The current market climate is highlighting gold's resiliency as a “store of value,” a title that the precious metal has reclaimed amidst recent economic turbulence.
April gold futures have surged past the $3,000-per-ounce mark for the first time ever, highlighting enduring demand for the metal as a “store of value” amid a turbulent market climate that has tested the credentials of other assets.
At the time of writing, (BTC) is down 12% year-to-date and trades around $80,000. In comparison, the world's most valuable metal has seen a 15% increase YTD.
As geopolitical tensions escalate, with ensuing conflicts and economic sanctions, investors appear to be flocking to the stability of gold.
The world’s most valuable metal has seen a 15% increase YTD, in stark contrast to the 12% decline in BTC since the beginning of the year.
A rising tide of geopolitical instability, fueled by the Russia-Ukraine war and the ensuing economic sanctions, appears to be pushing investors toward traditional safe-haven assets.
In the world of cryptocurrencies, interest appears to be waning, particularly in U.S. spot bitcoin ETFs, which have recorded only three days of inflows since mid-February.
According to Bloomberg’s Eric Balchunas, these ETFs have seen a decline in net inflows, dropping from $40 billion to about $35 billion. This downturn follows a correction in the S&P 500, which has fallen over 10% and is struggling to reclaim its prior peaks as worries about inflation and consumer confidence persist due to recent economic policies.
However, Andre Dragosch from Bitwise attributes the recent spike in gold prices to heightened inflation expectations and a flight to safety among investors.
The University of Michigan consumer survey reveals rising concerns about inflation, driven in part by the tariff policies enacted during the previous administration. This is evident in the relationship between inflation expectations and surging gold prices as investors seek to shield their wealth.
In conjunction with these developments, various macroeconomic indicators will be closely monitored. For instance, the Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics will unveil January’s producer price inflation data, while the University of Michigan’s preliminary consumer sentiment index is also anticipated to provide further insights on consumer outlook as markets navigate through this economic landscape.
In other developments, the governance discussions within decentralized autonomous organizations (DAOs) are heating up.
ApeCoin DAO is set to decide on establishing a base in Lhasa, Aave DAO is planning to launch a new licensed instance to provide institutional investors with access to stablecoin liquidity, and Balancer DAO plans to deploy new technology on the OP Mainnet.
