Current gold bull market in historical perspective

Goldman notes that after a few quarters of uninspiring market that follows positive earnings release, beats are finally being rewarded.
Companies beating consensus EPS estimates have outperformed on the day after reporting by +207 bp on average, more than double the historical average of +98 bp.
30-day realized vol in gold has climbed above 44%, the highest level since the 2008 financial crisis, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.
That surpasses the roughly 39% for Bitcoin, the original cryptocurrency often dubbed “digital gold.” Since Bitcoin’s creation 17 years ago, gold has only been more volatile on two occasions, most recently last May during a flare-up in trade tensions sparked by President Trump's tariff threats.
