"Gold now has a new competitor for a safe haven investment which is treasuries."

This episode breaks down why gold prices fell even after President Trump rejected a deal to reopen the Strait of Hormuz and oil prices jumped back up, a reaction that runs opposite to how gold usually behaves during bad economic news. He explains why investors moved into Treasuries instead, and why that shift signals a bigger change in how money is looking for safety in this economy.
