Episode Details

Investors seeking refuge in gold and government bonds during the Iran conflict are experiencing significant losses. Gold has plummeted over ten percent in a week, marking its worst performance in forty-three years. Bonds are also suffering, with yields surging and volatility increasing due to inflation fears. Traditional sixty-forty stock-bond portfolios are down three point five percent this year. A historical study reveals that bonds have delivered real losses averaging fourteen percent over the first four years of crises. Bond funds tracking U.S. Treasuries and global indexes are down two percent this month and fourteen percent lower over five years since the Ukraine invasion. Without a recession to force rate cuts, bonds may continue to struggle as energy price increases persist.
