The context for chatgpt:
Since January 1, 2025, gold has displayed a remarkable performance with an increase of almost 30 %, consolidating its status of refuge value in the face of an uncertain global economic context.
Perfect start of the year for gold!
If sometimes it is better to invest in bitcoin or other cryptocurrencies, it is sometimes better to take more precautions. At the beginning of 2025, it was ultimately gold that outperformed everyone, leaving far behind the BTC, the equity market and other risky assets.
Since January 1, gold has left far behind the competition, with an annual gain of 29.82 % against -0.10 % for the BTC. In comparison with the other cryptocurrencies of the Top 100, only the form and the XMR of Monero manage to do better than gold. The latter gained 510 % and 47 % respectively.
Gold was therefore particularly volatile at the start of the year, but mainly for the right reasons. Thus, while an investment of $ 1,000 on January 1 in BTC would be a generally worth $ 1,000, this is not the case with the Gold. With an increase of almost 30 % for the XAU/USD price, an investment of $ 1,000 in precious metal would now be worth $ 1,282.
As a reminder, the most capitalized asset in the world has multiplied record prices at the start of the year, until reaching a maximum price of $ 3,529 on April 22. If the course opened the year at $ 2,600, the asset has garnered almost $ 1,000 in just 4 months. At the time of writing, the XAU is valued at $ 3,404. Even today, performance is there for gold, with a gain of almost 3 % against neutral performance for the BTC.
-A dynamic ready to fade
But if the BTC is not the first in the class in 2025, it is far from the last. American shares have done much worse (except MSTR of Strategy – 27 %). The action of the company NVIDIA, for example, fell to 18.28 % since January 1. An investment of $ 1,000 at the start of the year would have lost value in this type of placement. Microsoft, for its part, was able to be content with positive (+4 %) while Alphabet (-13 %) and Apple (-18 %) also strongly disappointed.
International uncertainty has played a lot in the revaluation of gold and in particular in connection with Donald Trump’s decisions. After the entry of the latter, the increase in gold prices has accelerated and the asset has not been in a diet since. While the American president believes that the first trade deals could be announced this week, the panorama could evolve. Gold would be potentially disadvantaged in the event of relaxation of international macroeconomic conditions and if the prospect of an American recession were to move away.
Morality of history: in 2025 gold did not speak, he just conceded! These are +30 % and not a word.
