[Gold and Silver Reach New Highs, Bitcoin's Year-to-Date Decline Expands to 6.25%] Gold and silver prices have once again broken historical records this week, showcasing strong performance in the precious metals market. Meanwhile, Bitcoin's year-to-date price has fallen by 6.25%, and Ethereum has dropped by 12%, reflecting bearish sentiment in the cryptocurrency market. The stock prices of related asset management companies have also experienced significant declines. Louis Navellier, founder of investment advisory firm Navellier & Associates, stated that gold prices have risen nearly 70% by 2025. In contrast, cryptocurrencies continue to decline, and he recommends investors shift to gold due to its advantages, including central bank purchases, lower volatility, and improved liquidity. Renowned investor Peter Schiff posted on the X platform, noting that Bitcoin has failed to rise alongside tech stocks and precious metals, suggesting it may never achieve an upward trend.
