Spot gold surpassed $3,000 an ounce for the first time before retreating to $2,990. Gold futures for April delivery also broke the $3,000 mark on Thursday.
The precious metal is now up over 15% this year, driven by strong ETF inflows, geopolitical uncertainty, and continued concerns over U.S. equities amid ongoing tariff discussions by former President Donald Trump.
Meanwhile, gold priced in British pounds has yet to reach its all-time high of £2,363, currently sitting around £300 below that level.
Charlie Morris, founder of ByTree and manager of the BOLD ETF, which includes both bitcoin and gold, has observed a divergence between gold and bitcoin ETFs and expects this trend to reverse soon.
“In the last 30 days, gold ETFs have seen $10 billion in inflows, while bitcoin ETFs have experienced $5 billion in outflows,” Morris noted. “Sooner or later, the flows will reverse again—just as they always do.”
As we continue to navigate the complexities of the global financial landscape, gold remains a focal point for investors looking for stability in an uncertain world. Its recent surge not only marks a historical milestone but also indicates shifting market dynamics that could influence future investment strategies.
As we monitor these developments, it will be essential for investors to stay informed about the ongoing trends in both the gold and cryptocurrency markets. The interplay between these assets could shape investment decisions moving forward, making it crucial to adapt and respond to changes in investor sentiment.
