[Bloomberg: Low U.S. Stock Volatility May Signal Risk, Gold's Relative Advantage Over U.S. Bonds Near Historic High] BlockBeats News, September 3, Bloomberg commodity strategist Mike McGlone published an article stating that the current volatility of the U.S. stock market relative to gold is at its lowest level since 2007, while the market is entering the traditional volatility season. This situation could impact the performance of gold, stocks, and bonds in the second half of this year. McGlone pointed out that the ratio of the SPDR Gold ETF (GLD) to the iShares 20+ Year Treasury Bond ETF (TLT) he tracks is nearing its historical peak, indicating that gold's performance relative to long-term U.S. bonds is exceptionally strong. He noted that historically, extremely low stock market volatility occurred before the 2008 financial crisis, and whether the market will repeat a similar scenario remains to be seen. [Original Link]
