Gold is on track for its second-best performance in the last 50 years, trailing only the 1979 rally. After nearly three quarters, the yellow metal is up over 43%, as investors hedge against geopolitical and monetary risks.
“If we really go to an overt fiscally dominant era where monetary policy is just looser than it otherwise should be, then you get the dollar losing some of its reserve status and then gold and bitcoin are on the other side of that trade,” Jurrien Timmer, Director of Global Macro at Fidelity Investments, said for Bloomberg TV.
