Merryn Talks Money
Markets Wrap: Gilts, Gold and AI’s Price Tag

We've had just a long period of time when gold has not been acting in the way that gold traditionally acts.

Merryn Talks Money
Markets Wrap: Gilts, Gold and AI’s Price Tag

And even now, doing what it's doing now, it's still not quite doing that.

Merryn Talks Money
Markets Wrap: Gilts, Gold and AI’s Price Tag

It's not quite the gold you know.

Merryn Talks Money
Markets Wrap: Gilts, Gold and AI’s Price Tag

And I think there's still a lot of air in that market.

Merryn Talks Money
Markets Wrap: Gilts, Gold and AI’s Price Tag

So you may well see a bit more volatility come through.

Merryn Talks Money
Markets Wrap: Gilts, Gold and AI’s Price Tag

But historically, it does remain pretty elevated.

Merryn Talks Money
Markets Wrap: Gilts, Gold and AI’s Price Tag

So that's quite a big shift.

Merryn Talks Money
Markets Wrap: Gilts, Gold and AI’s Price Tag

Yes.

And actually that one, so you're just asking about SpaceX.

Merryn Talks Money
Markets Wrap: Gilts, Gold and AI’s Price Tag

That was something we actually really did see evidence of.

Merryn Talks Money
Markets Wrap: Gilts, Gold and AI’s Price Tag

was retail traders getting rid of their Bitcoin holdings in order to buy SpaceX.

Merryn Talks Money
Markets Wrap: Gilts, Gold and AI’s Price Tag

And that was happening actually across all sorts of spaces.

Merryn Talks Money
Markets Wrap: Gilts, Gold and AI’s Price Tag

It was happening with some of the high flying kind of chip stocks as well.

Merryn Talks Money
Markets Wrap: Gilts, Gold and AI’s Price Tag

That's a great point, actually.

Merryn Talks Money
Markets Wrap: Gilts, Gold and AI’s Price Tag

So yeah, so last year we had this debasement trade, right?

Merryn Talks Money
Markets Wrap: Gilts, Gold and AI’s Price Tag

This was like, for a few months, this was the idea that the dollar is no longer king and that people are putting their money into gold or Bitcoin.

Merryn Talks Money
Markets Wrap: Gilts, Gold and AI’s Price Tag

And that seems to have fritted away over the course of this past year.

Merryn Talks Money
Markets Wrap: Gilts, Gold and AI’s Price Tag

I think a lot of the enthusiasm, you know, Bitcoin does rely to an extent on enthusiasm, on investors just being enthused about getting into gold, pumping their money into the ETFs that have now been launched, you know, these kind of institutional funds.

Merryn Talks Money
Markets Wrap: Gilts, Gold and AI’s Price Tag

All of those companies, when you have this much equity supply, like SpaceX, when you have this much excitement about a different corner of the market- Sorry, I'm talking about Bitcoin now, not gold.

Merryn Talks Money
Markets Wrap: Gilts, Gold and AI’s Price Tag

Yes, sorry.
