I'm not supposed to give investment advice, but compliance has never said I can't suggest overweighting US Treasuries :) Tinderbox Seeking a Spark: US Treasuries vs. Gold A basic factor may be all that's needed to spur some reversion from the lowest US Treasury prices vs. gold since 1982: a modest rebound in stock-market volatility. The ancient store of value, which has outperformed most assets and commodities for decades -- notably risk adjusted -- may have run its course. Gold has achieved its highest-ever status vs. the Bloomberg Commodity Spot Index (in data since 1960) and is stretched vs. most moving averages, last comparable to its roughly $850-an-ounce peak in 1980. That apex lasted until 2008. I see parallels. The graphic highlights the lowest Bloomberg US Treasury Total Return Index vs. gold since 1982. Is it time to sell gold and buy Treasuries? My bias leans that way due to the highest US stock market cap-to-GDP in about a century, buried volatility and rolling-over Bitcoin.
