Amid the ongoing coronavirus crisis, only one asset has had full immunity. While tech stocks and delivery services have been pretty good earners in recent months, they were all still affected by the initial bear market and have certainly had their ups and downs since. Gold, on the other hand, has been a consistent winner right from the moment the pandemic downturn struck. That's right: the quintessential safe harbor has unsurprisingly done exceptionally well during the pandemic. Many investors who went for the textbook hedge back in March have been rewarded handsomely for their faith in gold.
In early March, the precious metal was trading at around $1570 per Troy ounce, but over the ensuing months, it has risen nearly 30%, even recording new all-time highs just this week. An impressive rally over the previous fortnight has seen gold rise from $1810.00 to an unprecedented $1959.00 today (30/07/2020). And with no end to the crisis currently insight, we could well be in for ever-higher highs in XAUUSD. In truth, a break above the new psychological resistance of $2000 feels almost inevitable unless a viable vaccine somehow makes it to market in a matter of weeks from now.
In the meantime, many investors are wondering how to respond to the current volatile situation. The gold market is truly balanced on a knife-edge right now; nobody knows where prices could be headed in the next few weeks.
