[eToro: Gold is Replacing Traditional Stable Low-Risk Assets as a Portfolio Hedging Tool] Odaily Planet Daily News – eToro analyst Lale Akoner pointed out that as investors seek new ways to hedge stock risks, gold is increasingly replacing traditional stable low-risk assets—long-term government bonds—as a portfolio allocation choice. 'Historically, duration risk exposure has helped cushion the decline of risk assets. However, the recent phenomenon of simultaneous sell-offs in the stock market and long-term bonds has weakened investors' trust in bonds as a reliable hedging tool during critical moments.' She stated that investors are therefore replacing bond exposure with gold in their portfolios, signaling that 'a broader rethinking of portfolio risk management' is underway. (Jin10)
