According to The Kobeissi Letter, GLD has surged +109% since 2020, now significantly outperforming the S&P 500's +74% gain in the same period. This shift is directly linked to increasing market uncertainty, which has driven traders toward gold as a safe-haven asset, despite a broader equity market recovery. For traders, this trend indicates sustained demand for gold ETFs like GLD during periods of elevated risk and uncertainty, suggesting that gold's role in diversified portfolios remains robust as we head into 2025 (Source: The Kobeissi Letter, Twitter, May 5, 2025).
