Gold has demonstrated its resilience and value as a safe-haven asset, surging over 16% year-to-date and outperforming the S&P 500. The precious metal recently hit the $2,400 threshold for the first time, marking a significant milestone.
According to data shared by Zerohedge, gold has experienced a remarkable 17% increase over the past two months. Historically, similar short-term percentage moves in gold have coincided with major economic events, such as the 2008 Global Financial Crisis, the 2011 US downgrade, the 2016 global slowdown, and the 2020 COVID-19 pandemic.
