  • CRYPTOCURRENCY:
    The most recent fall of Bitcoin was as seen as result of the outbreak of coronavirus. During this period bitcoin experienced a major decline in one day where the price fell from $7600 to $5300 in a day. And further moves down to $4,000 in a moment along with the United States Stock market. This price fluctuation in price is the major reason investors do not see cryptocurrencies as a safe haven anymore. Bitcoin has only existed for 10 years while other assets such as Gold has been existing for about 5000 years hence, its a bit too early to consider bitcoin as a safe haven.

  • GOLD
    It appears gold isn't affected by the declines being experienced by other digital and physical assets. Gold is often sighted as having negative correlation with stocks and a positive correlation with inflation, thus serving as execlent diversifying asset to hold in portfolios.
    The price of Gold seems to be doing well hitting $1700 and may even experience a further increase. This is due to the highly unmet demands of investors.
    Due to this global pandemic, major gold refineries including today's largest refinery have announced a one month closure, leading swizz refineries are all closed as well as major Gold mints. This result to a major supply issue and on the other hand, investors who are willing to buy gold are left with unmet demands. Since major online gold sales websites are out of stock and inter-bank market is unable to supply these investors, demand to supply link is broken. Therefore the Increasing unmet gold demands of investors result to the increase in price of Gold despite the global economic crisis.

GOLD SUPPLY CHAIN
Gold typically has a short supply chain compared to other manufacturing components and it's value is being created at the early stage of the chain in contrast to other manufacturing component with a longer supply chain whose value are added at the later end of the chain. Due to the COVID-19, product of long supply chains due to more links on the supply chain has greater chances of potential problem in bringing the product and services to the market. Because its value is being created earlier in the supply chain, gold tend to deliver it's profits, revenue and even dividend to investors.
