She notes that the market cap of gold as a percent of the U.S. money supply (M2) has reached levels not seen since the Great Depression.\n\"The ratio of gold to M2 has hit the all-time high recorded during The Great Depression in 1934. In that crisis, the dollar devalued relative to gold by almost 70% on January 31, 1934, the government banned private ownership of gold, and M2 collapsed,\" Wood posted on X.\nWood maintains that while investors are focused on technology, the true danger lies in precious metals. \"In our view, the bubble today is not in AI, but in gold. An upturn in the dollar could pop that bubble, a la 1980 to 2000 when the gold price dropped more than 60%.\"\nWhile many bulls credit the rally to institutional diversification, Brooks argues in a Substack post that the data used to support this is fundamentally flawed. \n\"So all this chart is really doing is plotting the rise in gold prices twice. Once via the impact on its share in central bank reserves and once in terms of the actual gold price. This chart therefore correlates two series that are basically the same and says absolutely nothing about whether central banks are actually buying gold,\" Brooks wrote, also sharing the same chart on X.\nAccording to Brooks, IMF data on volumes show no massive shift in holdings. \"The precious metals bubble of recent months is all about retail buying, like every other bubble before it.\"\nWood agrees that the current macro environment does not support gold's high valuation, noting that the “US economy today looks nothing like the double-digit inflation-prone 1970s or the deflationary bust of the 1930s.”\nBoth experts suggest that if the U.S. dollar strengthens, the “out-of-this-world” spikes in gold will likely face a sharp, painful reversal.\nDuring the publication of this article, Gold Spot U.S. Dollar was down 2.60% at $5,232.81 per ounce, retreating from the all-time high of $5,595.46.\nHere’s a list of Gold ETFs that investors can consider.\nDisclaimer: This content was partially produced with the help of AI tools and was reviewed and published by Benzinga editors.\nPhoto courtesy: Phawat via Shutterstock","kind":"highlight","is_publish_news":true,"is_publish_highlight":false,"is_publish_live":false,"is_publish_wemedia":null,"editions":null,"column":"","sentiment":"0","news_tag":"","news_rank":0,"symbols":[],"gpt_button":0,"need_auth":false,"code":"91000000","status":"200"},"commentList":[],"isCommentEnd":true,"newsSizeData":{"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"favoriteSize":0,"likeStatus":false,"favoriteStatus":false},"APP":{"userAgent":"Mozilla/5.0 AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko; compatible; ClaudeBot/1.0; +claudebot@anthropic.com)","isDev":false,"isTTM":true,"tenantId":"TBGLOBAL","deviceId":"web-server-community-laohu8-v3","version":"4.36.2","shortVersion":"4.36.2","platform":"web","vendor":"web","appName":"ttm","isIOS":false,"isAndroid":false,"isTiger":false,"isTHS":false,"isWeiXin":false,"isWeiXinMini":false,"isWeiBo":false,"isQQ":false,"isBaiduSwan":false,"isBaiduBox":false,"isDingTalk":false,"isToutiao":false,"isOnePlus":false,"isHuaWei":false,"isXiaomi":false,"isXiaomiWebView":false,"isOppo":false,"isVivo":false,"isSamsung":false,"isMobile":false},"href":"/m/news/2607094613","isCrawlerRequest":true}
