Despite geopolitical crises like the Iran war, gold has not behaved as a classic safe-haven asset, which challenges the traditional assumption that gold always rises in times of conflict or uncertainty. Beck examines why this relationship has broken down in the current environment.
The combination of geopolitical fragmentation, high debt levels, and shifting capital flows means that historical correlations and rules of thumb for investing no longer apply reliably, requiring investors to think in new frameworks.
Beck argues that Germany is disproportionately harmed by energy price volatility due to its industrial structure and past energy policy decisions, making it one of the bigger structural losers in the current geopolitical reshuffling.
Actively question investment rules of thumb formed in the pre-2020 era, since the macro regime has shifted enough that strategies built on old correlations between stocks, bonds, gold, and currencies may produce unexpected results.
