How Does Gold Perform When the Stock Market Crashes?
Ajay Kedia from Kedia Advisory highlights that gold has proven to be a reliable investment, particularly during times of market stress. Historically, whenever the equity markets, like the S&P500, experience major declines, gold tends to rise, making it a safe haven for investors.
He explained, "Over the past 25 years, historical data shows that whenever the S&P500, a major stock market index, experiences a significant drop of over 20%, gold has seen impressive growth. For example, during the 2008 financial crisis, while the S&P500 crashed by nearly 58%, gold rose by almost 40%. Similarly, in the 2020 COVID-19 crash, when stocks fell by 35%, gold surged by 32%. This pattern has repeated during other market crashes, like the dot-com bubble, reinforcing gold's position as a stable investment during financial uncertainty."
Mr. Ajay Kedia highlighted that during the ongoing tariff war, while the S&P500 has dropped 21.87%, gold has risen 21.15%, proving its strength as a safe investment. Gold is expected to reach $3,167 by Q2 2025, making it a solid choice for long-term investors looking for stability.
Mr. Kedia said, "Currently, in the ongoing tariff war scenario, the S&P500 has corrected 21.87%, and gold is already up 21.15%, poised to reach $3167.7 by Q2 2025. These patterns indicate that gold consistently provides safety and returns during crises."
He further added, "strategic, phased accumulation now could benefit long-term investors. Currently gold is getting benefitted by geopolitical concern, de-dollarization, central bank and ETF buying, equity market erosion and inflation and recession fear."
As per Mr. Kedia, gold is currently benefiting from geopolitical concerns, de-dollarization, central bank, and ETF buying, stock market declines, and inflation/recession fears. These factors make gold a reliable asset during uncertain times, offering safety and potential returns. For regular investors, buying gold gradually could protect and grow wealth.
Gold Price Outlook
Mr. Ajay Kedia suggests that in the short term, gold prices will likely stabilize, forming a solid foundation. Looking ahead 3 to 6 months, he believes gold will continue to rise, possibly reaching $3,340 or around ₹94,500 per 10 grams. This means gold could be a good investment shortly, offering potential growth.
"Expect base formation in the short term; 3-6 month view remains bullish with potential targets of ~$3340 / ~₹94,500," Mr. Kedia said
