Safe-haven assets are on the rise amid concerns over a widening coronavirus outbreak. Meanwhile, Bitcoin collapsed over the weekend as investors begin to question its capability to act as a hedge.<\/p>\n

Global rush into havens<\/h2>\n

Gold prices surged above $1,700 per ounce as investors massively took a flight to safety worldwide. The precious metal hit the highest it has been in more than seven-year showing immunity to the coronavirus, which has injected fear across all the major global economies.<\/p>\n

Michael McCarthy, the chief market strategist at CMC Markets, explained<\/a>:<\/p>\n

\u201cThere\u2019s a clear rush to safe-haven assets at the moment and gold\u2019s a major beneficiary. [Markets are concerned that] we could see a more ugly situation before things get better, which of course is good news for gold.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The state of commotion in the global financial markets led Goldman Sachs Group Inc. to raise its 12-month forecast for gold by $200. The bank affirmed<\/a> that in the event that the coronavirus effect spreads to the second quarter of the year, gold could climb to $1,800 per ounce on a three-month basis.<\/p>\n

Bitcoin fails to meet expectations<\/h2>\n

Spot gold surged as much as 8.2 percent since the beginning of the month. \u00a0It recently hit a high of $1,703.60 an ounce. In the meantime, Bitcoin, which is seen by many as a \u201cdigital gold\u201d safe-haven, took a 12 percent nosedive.<\/p>\n

The flagship cryptocurrency moved below the $8,000 level for the first time since January. It went down to hit a low of $7,730 over the weekend.<\/p>\n

Bitcoin's failure to rally on the most ideal financial circumstances was a clear sign that a steep decline was coming, according<\/a> to the CEO of Euro Pacific Capital Peter Schiff.<\/p>\n

Along the same lines, Nobel-winning economist Nouriel Roubini<\/a> suggested that the poor performance that BTC has had during this global epidemic obliterates the notion that it can act as a hedging asset<\/a> during times of financial turmoil.<\/p>\n

Roubini said<\/a>:<\/p>\n

\u201cBitcoin is down 8% in the last day, much more than global equities. Another proof that Bitcoin is NOT a good hedge vs risky assets in risk-off episodes. It actually falls more than risky assets during risk-off. So BTC is a shitty shitcoin hedge in risk-off cases.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

With eight new countries including Bulgaria, Costa Rica, Faeroe Islands, French Guiana, Maldives, Malta, Martinique, and Republic of Moldova reporting<\/a> their first cases of coronavirus, investors tremble in \u201cextreme fear<\/a>\u201d of a further downturn in the cryptocurrency market.<\/p>\n

Although fear can be seen as a positive sign according to the Crypto Fear and Greed Index, technical analysts Micha\u00ebl van de Poppe maintains<\/a> that Bitcoin could still drop to $7,350.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
