Gold Has Nearly Doubled the S&P 500 Over Past 12 Months
Gold’s recent run has rewarded long-term supporters. Since February 2024 the metal has climbed more than 46%, roughly twice the gain of the S&P 500 over the same period. That performance has reinforced the case for gold as a portfolio hedge—whether against currency swings, market volatility, or systemic risk.
Investors who allocated to precious metals have seen those convictions pay off as gold’s rally accelerated. The move illustrates how diversified exposure can protect capital and offer outsized returns in certain market environments.

What Else is in the News?
📈 GOLD NEARS $3,000 MARK IN HISTORIC SEVEN-WEEK RALLY
Gold extended its seventh straight weekly gain, trading near $2,937 per ounce as investors sought safe-haven assets amid rising geopolitical and trade tensions. The sustained buying has driven prices toward the $3,000 level and underscored demand for physical metal.
🔥 INFLATION SURGES TO 18-MONTH HIGH
U.S. consumer prices rose 0.5% in January, the largest monthly increase since August 2023. This uptick, fueled by higher shelter and food costs, has reduced expectations for near-term Federal Reserve rate cuts and may influence precious metals sentiment.
🔄 GLOBAL TRADE SHAKE-UP LOOMS FOR METALS
A proposed reciprocal tariff policy could alter global metals pricing and supply chains. By matching duties on certain foreign imports, the shift aims to rebalance trade flows and may affect how metals move between major markets.
✈️ UNPRECEDENTED GOLD MIGRATION REVEALS MARKET STRESS
Large banks are transporting physical gold between vaults at an unusually high rate, with significant volumes moving from London to New York. These flows, driven by price differentials and logistical pressures, have strained refineries and vault operations and helped push futures toward record levels.
