Gold is soaring while Bitcoin – digital Gold – is slumping?
Bitcoin has shown itself to be more correlated w/risk-sensitive assets. Over the past 3yrs, Bitcoin has the highest monthly correlation w/Mag7 at 0.63. Correlation between Bitcoin and Nasdaq 100 is 0.58, between Bitcoin and S&P 500 is 0.54. Correlation between Bitcoin and Gold is very low at 0.23 - at 1 link would denote the two assets trade in sync. (HT @barronsonline) - HolgerZ, Bloomberg
The first ever 2x and -2x spot bitcoin ETFs hit the market yesterday from ProShares.
$BITU and $SBIT (tickers could have been better). $BITX is 2x but it tracks futures and $BITI is -1x but is also futures. Fee 95bps on both. Haven't traded too much so far, under $1m. Source: Eric Balchunas, Bloomberg
Bond yields up and gold up?
This looks like a classic 1970s action, with the inverse relationship between gold and 10-year Treasury yields starting to decouple. Gold is at all-time highs in the face of bond market weakness. This, coupled with the rise in commodity prices (especially oil / gasoline), could mean troubles for the Fed and the banks. Source: Bloomberg, Lawrence McDonald
