🥇 HOW HAS GOLD PERFORMED 🏆 UNDER DIFFERENT 🤴🏽 ADMINISTRATIONS⁉️ GOLD tops $2700 for the First Time 🤯
📈 Gold Price Performance overview 👀
▶ George H.W. Bush (1989-1993), gold prices fell by 19%, reflecting post-Cold War optimism and economic expansion.
▶ Bill Clinton's era (1993-2001) continued this trend with a further 20% drop, as markets embraced globalisation and stock market booms.
▶ The major inflection point came with George W. Bush (2001-2009), where gold prices soared by 215%, driven by geopolitical tensions, 9/11, and the 2008 GFC.
▶ Barack Obama (2009-2017) saw a continued rise (+44%) as central banks introduced massive stimulus post-GFC.
▶ Donald Trump (2017-2021) oversaw a 53% increase, with trade wars, COVID-19, and massive fiscal expansion fueling uncertainty and demand for safe-haven assets.
▶ Joe Biden (2021-present), gold prices have continued their upward trend (+37%) as inflationary pressures, global unrest, and monetary policy shifts keep investors flocking to gold.

We can see that though gold is broadly negatively correlated with stocks and has a variable performance during periods of high inflation, it has no singular driver.
However, one factor in particular tends to be a dependable catalyst for the gold price and that's systemic risk, either economic or geopolitical, and performance is amplified where both of these apply as seen during Bush II.
Regardless of who takes the reigns in November, we'll likely remain in a high systemic risk period for some time to come.

• Gold Tops $2,700 for The First Time
Gold’s hit record highs as investors seek shelter in a macro environment that’s shakier than it looks.
What does this mean?
Gold has shot up over 30% this year, which is pretty remarkable considering the US economy has stayed robust and interest rates remained high. If gold’s hitting new all-time highs without a recession on the horizon and other assets offering attractive yields, it’s a sign that investors might be more nervous about the future than they’re letting on.
And maybe they’re right to be: geopolitical tensions are heating up, inflation and slowdown risks aren’t off the table, government debt is dangerously stacking up, and central banks are loading up on gold to move away from the US dollar. Gold’s sending a message – uncertainty is brewing, so stay prepared.
Why should you care?

Why should you care?
• For markets:
With interest rates likely to dip, geopolitical risks still simmering, and the dollar losing some steam, gold’s rally might have more fuel left. That said, with prices already at record highs, some of these factors are baked in. For gold to push higher, it’s not just about more uncertainty – it’ll also come down to investor sentiment and whether they shift back into gold after years of being underweight. The outlook for gold still appear positive, but don’t be surprised if prices get a bit more volatile from here.
• For you:
• For you:
A classic stocks-and-bonds portfolio usually does the job, with bonds stepping up when stocks slip. But as 2022 reminded us, when growth stalls and inflation spikes, both can take a hit. That’s where gold comes in: it’s a safe haven that tends to shine when other assets stumble. Plus, with its limited supply and intrinsic value, gold’s a solid store of wealth—unlike fiat currencies that can be printed endlessly. Adding some gold to your portfolio could help keep things steady when markets get rocky.
Gold: I would not be surprised to see a replay of what occurred from the fall of 1979 to late January 1980. For the uninitiated, spot price of gold rose from around $250/oz. in mid August to $850 by the 3rd week of January! Since Au doesn't seem to be showing any intent to slow or alter its record-breaking course, and depending on what geopolitical and economic realities we end up facing over these next few months, I'm wondering if we could see 3000 by November, 5000 by December, and 8000 by January.
What that could mean for $Barrick Gold (GOLD.US)$ alone is anyone's guess at this point, but obviously it would put it at a presently unimaginable valuation.

• In the market, "time" can refer to several important concepts:
1. Time Horizon: This is the period over which an investor intends to hold an investment before needing to access the funds. Time horizons can vary widely, from short-term (days to months) to medium-term (a few years) to long-term (typically five years or more). The time horizon influences investment strategy, risk tolerance, and asset allocation.
2. Time Value of Money (TVM): This principle states that a sum of money has greater value now than it will in the future due to its potential earning capacity. In investment terms, this concept underpins the importance of earning returns over time, often calculated using present value and future value formulas.
3. Market Timing: Refers to the strategy of making buy or sell decisions based on predictions of future market price movements. Market timing can be risky and is often criticized for being difficult to execute consistently.
4. Investment Duration: In fixed-income investments, duration measures how sensitive the price of a bond is to changes in interest rates. It considers the timing of all cash flows, including interest payments and the return of principal.
5. Compounding Time: The effect of compounding returns over time is crucial in investing. The longer the investment period, the more pronounced the effects of compounding can be, as returns generate additional returns.
Understanding these various aspects of time is essential for investors as they shape decisions, strategies, and expectations for returns in the investment market.
