According to CNBC, Citi Research pointed out that adding gold and Bitcoin to the traditional '60/40' (stocks + bonds) portfolio over the past 10 years can improve portfolio efficiency. Citi stated that allocating approximately 5% to gold alone can significantly enhance performance; if this portion is split between gold and Bitcoin, returns are further boosted without significantly increasing risk. Citi analyst Alex Saunders noted that this 'gold + BTC' combo outperforms the traditional 60/40 in a strong bond environment and performs better during 'bear steepening.' Citi also mentioned that amid recent geopolitical conflicts and market volatility, Bitcoin's relative performance during weaker bond market periods sometimes surpasses gold: over the past two months, BTC has risen about 9%, while spot gold has dropped about 4%. https://(wublock123.com)/news/news-59732
