Since the start of the war, gold traded like a high-beta asset, with a higher correlation with the S&P 500 than bitcoin. But that's correcting, so gold is regaining its safe haven status. I talk about this and the debasement trade on today's live stream... robinjbrooks.substack.com/p/is-the-debas …
AI visual note: The bar chart from Haver Analytics shows the correlation of daily changes in the S&P 500 with gold, silver, platinum, palladium, and bitcoin across four periods: Jan '11-Aug '25 (history), Aug '25-Feb '26 (debasement trade), Mar '26-Jun '26 (war with Iran), and Jun '26-Aug '26 (post-MoU). During the war period (circled), gold's correlation with equities spiked to ~0.62—higher than bitcoin's ~0.56—illustrating the post's point that gold acted as a high-beta asset rather than a safe haven, though its correlation has since dropped back to ~0.18 in the post-MoU period as it regains safe-haven status.
