Gold's New Record Highs
Gold has recently reached new all-time highs, notably closing at $2,578 for the week, marking a 25% increase for the year. This surge contrasts sharply with the stock market's performance, where major indexes have shown less impressive gains when measured in gold. For instance, while the S&P 500 saw a weekly rise of 3.1%, this translated to a decline in its value relative to gold for the year. Investors are increasingly recognizing gold's robustness as a hedge against inflation and economic instability.
