This would also mark a reversal of gold’s downtrend, with prices fluctuating between $1,850 and $1,650 for most of 2021 despite annual inflation in the US rising to a 39-year high. Gold is also competing with Bitcoin for investors’ safe-haven appetite throughout 2021.

Other potential surprises on the list include the S&P 500, which made no headway in 2022 as strong earnings clash with rising interest rates, persistent inflation becomes a dominant theme, 10-year Treasury yields rise to 2.75%, and ESG goes beyond corporate policy statements. taking.
