Som frågan lyder, vad händer med guldet? Det fungerar som en krockkudde i den mån att det rasar mindre än börsen, men intuitivt skulle väl guldet gå upp nu när börsen går ned kraftigt?
Bifogar en länk om ämnet nedan. Var också överraskad att guldet går ner, men hade jag varit påläst om förra kraschen så hade jag inte varit så överraskad!
Bitcoin & Gold ‘Are Doing the Same Thing’ in Coronavirus Crisis: Pomp
“A liquidity crisis means that investors all rush to the exit doors at the same time, but there are so many more sellers than buyers that investors actually have a hard time offloading their assets for cash. Quite literally, investors begin aggressively lowering the price they are willing to accept for each asset in exchange for the cash which they are desperately seeking right now.”Pomp points to the 30% crash in the price of gold during the 2008 global financial crisis, stating: “This [wasn’t] because gold is a bad store of value or that it had lost safe-haven status after 5,000 years. It [was] because gold has a liquid market and investors needed liquidity over anything else.”Despite gold’s sudden drop in price, the Morgan Creek Digital co-founder notes that the price of gold nearly tripled in five years from $650 in 2006 to more than $1,800 in 2011 as concerns regarding U.S. monetary policy, inflation, and debt increasingly gripped the markets.
