JP Morgan Report Affirms Gold’s Dominance as Top Safe-Haven Asset, Bitcoin Falls Short
In a recent market analysis, JP Morgan strategists have reinforced gold’s longstanding position as the preferred safe-haven asset during periods of economic uncertainty. The report highlights that while Bitcoin has gained attention as a potential alternative store of value, it continues to demonstrate higher volatility and lower institutional adoption compared to traditional gold investments. The analysis points to gold’s historical stability, deep liquidity pools, and widespread recognition across global financial systems as key factors maintaining its supremacy. Meanwhile, cryptocurrency markets have shown greater sensitivity to risk-on/risk-off sentiment, with Bitcoin’s correlation to tech stocks undermining its safe-haven credentials during recent market turbulence. The findings come as investors increasingly evaluate asset class performance amid fluctuating inflation expectations and geopolitical tensions.
