🚨 GOLD DOESN’T LEAD MARKET CRASHES
It reacts after the damage—not before. Let’s pause and separate facts from fear. 👇
Every day we see headlines like:
💥 “Financial collapse is coming”
💥 “Dollar is doomed”
💥 “Markets will crash”
💥 “War, debt, chaos everywhere”
What do people do?
👉 Panic
👉 Rush into gold
👉 Abandon risk assets
Sounds reasonable… but history tells a different story. 📉
Here’s how gold really behaves in crashes:
📉 Dot-Com Crash (2000–2002)
S&P 500: -50%
Gold: +13%
➡ Gold rallied after stocks were already collapsing.
📈 Recovery Phase (2002–2007)
Gold: +150%
S&P 500: +105%
➡ Post-crisis fear drove gold demand.
💥 Global Financial Crisis (2007–2009)
S&P 500: -57.6%
Gold: +16.3%
➡ Gold benefited during the panic, not before.
🪤 2009–2019 (Decade of Growth)
Gold: +41%
S&P 500: +305%
➡ Gold holders were sidelined while markets soared.
🦠 COVID Crash (2020)
S&P 500: -35%
Gold: -1.8% initially
After panic: Gold +32%, Stocks +54%
➡ Gold reacted after fear hit, not before.
⚠️ What’s happening now?
People are scared of:
▪ US debt 💰
▪ Deficits 📉
▪ AI hype 🤖
▪ Geopolitical tensions 🌍
▪ Trade wars 🚢
▪ Political chaos 🗳️
…and they’re buying gold before a crash even hits. History shows this rarely works.
🚫 The Real Risk:
❌ Capital stuck in gold
❌ Stocks, crypto, and real estate keep rising
❌ Fear buyers miss years of growth
🧠 Takeaway:
Gold is a reaction asset, not a crystal ball.
