Gold Outperforms! (Pretty Much Everything)

That’s how you know the world monetary system is going through a major shakeup!  Because gold outperforms pretty much everything!

Gold is having another bumper year. The shiny metal is setting new all-time highs and has raced ahead by some 35 percent 2025.  It looks like gold is headed for a third straight year of double-digit return.  

Along the way it is leaving stocks and bonds way behind. 

Here’s the way Newsweek reports on gold’s performance:

Gold has shattered previous price records in a dazzling rally, propelled by a mix of economic and political anxieties that have convinced a growing number of investors and governments to place faith in its time-tested “safe haven” status.

 With US debt now at 126 percent of the nation’s total productivity (GDP), individuals, investment professionals, and foreign nations are growing skeptical about the prospects of that debt being repaid.  Newsweek cites one researcher stating the obvious, “that gold’s surging price could also be tied to growing questions about the sustainability of U.S. government debt—now over $37 trillion according to Treasury calculations.”

 Others point candidly to an overall erosion of faith in the dollar.  The US Dollar Index (DXY), which measures the performance of the dollar against a basket of six leading currencies, is down more than 9 percent this year.
