Amidst growing economic uncertainty, investors are increasingly turning towards traditional safe-haven assets like gold. This trend is evident in the rising demand for gold, particularly in exchange-traded funds (ETFs) and futures markets, as evidenced by a record influx of $21.1 billion into global gold ETFs during the first quarter of this year, with strong contributions from China and Hong Kong. Meanwhile, Bitcoin’s status as a secure investment option is facing challenges, according to a recent report by JPMorgan. JPMorgan attributes this decline in interest to a shift away from risky cryptocurrencies towards more stable assets like gold, indicating that investors are seeking greater security during volatile times.
