Gold, Bitcoin, Stocks Hit Record Highs as US Dollar Plunges

Gold, Bitcoin, and Stocks Soar to Record Highs as U.S. Dollar Plunges and Investors Seek Alternatives Amid Economic Uncertainty

  • Gold, Bitcoin, and stocks have all reached record highs as the U.S. dollar declines sharply.
  • The S&P 500 increased by over 40% in the past six months, and Bitcoin surpassed $125,000.
  • The correlation between gold and the S&P 500 reached an unusually high 0.91 in 2024.
  • Analysts at The Kobeissi Letter cite inflation, a weakening labor market, and Federal Reserve rate cuts as key reasons for the shift.
  • U.S. government shutdowns and political instability are leading investors to seek alternative assets like Bitcoin.

Gold, Bitcoin, and U.S. stocks have all hit new all-time highs as the U.S. dollar faces its steepest annual decline in decades. Market analysts say these trends signal a major change in global economic conditions.

The S&P 500 stock index has climbed more than 40% over the past six months. Bitcoin reached a record high above $125,000 on Saturday. Gold prices also set new records, trading at around $3,880 per ounce and approaching $4,000, according to figures from The Kobeissi Letter.

Analysts at The Kobeissi Letter noted, “The correlation coefficient between gold and the S&P 500 reached a record 0.91 in 2024.” This high correlation between traditionally safe assets, like gold, and riskier assets, such as stocks, points toward markets adjusting to “a new monetary policy.” The analysts added that rising inflation, weakening job numbers, and Federal Reserve rate cuts are driving a broad movement toward alternative investments. The U.S. dollar is down over 10% year-to-date and has lost 40% of its purchasing power since 2000.

These financial shifts are happening during a period of U.S. government shutdown, which has disrupted normal operations at several agencies and fueled concerns over political stability. Fabian Dori, chief investment officer at digital asset bank Sygnum, said Bitcoin’s surge reflects investors’ renewed interest in assets perceived as store-of-value as trust in traditional institutions drops. Dori told Cointelegraph that, “The political dysfunction stemming from the shutdown has renewed investor interest in BTC as a store-of-value monetary technology.”
