1. Gold Hits New Highs: Risk Aversion Intensifies
The global market's focus has once again shifted to "hard assets"—gold.
As of today, the price of gold has surpassed $4200, reaching a peak of $4380, with a two-month increase of over 20%, setting a new historical high. The market generally expects that the $5000 mark may be breached by the end of this year.
The forces driving up gold prices come from multiple factors:
- Central Banks Hoarding Gold: Many central banks, including China, have net purchased over 1000 tons of gold for four consecutive years;
- Accumulating Risks in U.S. Debt: The scale of U.S. debt is approaching $37.5 trillion, with interest payments alone exceeding $1 trillion;
- Shortage of Physical Gold: The futures delivery cycle has lengthened, and spot premiums continue to widen;
- Geopolitical and Economic Uncertainty: U.S.-China tensions, a global interest rate cut cycle, and concerns over an AI bubble have led investors to prefer holding "visible assets."

2. Crypto Market: Bitcoin Falls Over 25% Against Gold, Digital Gold Narrative Cools
In stark contrast to gold's performance, Bitcoin has fallen over 25% against gold since the beginning of the year.
Although BTC has long been regarded as "digital gold," market data indicates that its safe-haven status is being reevaluated. Analysts believe that Bitcoin's current volatility and the high holdings by U.S. institutions (with miners accounting for about 38% of hash power and institutional holdings around 15%) create a strong binding to the U.S. dollar system, which diminishes Bitcoin's appeal as a "de-dollarization" tool. However, within the crypto community, funds are beginning to concentrate back into Bitcoin.
As risk-averse capital flows back, Bitcoin's total market cap dominance (BTC Dominance) continues to rise, and market liquidity is gravitating towards leading assets.
