Gold stocks and Bitcoin are falling in tandem, puzzling investors accustomed to their inverse relationship. Traditionally, gold hedges against inflation while BTC is "digital gold," but recent dynamics show correlation.
Factors include rising interest rates eroding appeal for non-yielding assets. Gold miners like Newmont face higher costs, down 12%, while BTC dipped 10%. Macro uncertainty, such as U.S. debt concerns, drives safe-haven shifts to bonds.
Analysts note liquidity crunches affecting both; institutional sell-offs in risk assets spill to commodities. Yet, long-term, divergence may return if crypto adoption surges.
Understanding this requires monitoring Fed policies. For portfolios, balance with diversified holdings. This synchronicity highlights evolving market behaviors in 2026.
