Gold and Bitcoin scale new heights
|It has been a day of moving parts as gold and bitcoin surge while the CAC40 slumps, says Chris Beauchamp, Chief Market Analyst at investing and trading platform IG.
CAC40’s turmoil remains contained
Another political drama in France has failed to resonate beyond the CAC40 and some euro weakness, while the Dax continues to consolidate after recent strength. Notably weakness in the German index was swiftly bought, while the FTSE 100 managed to eke out a record high despite the lack of news.
New highs for gold and bitcoin
Monday’s session closely fits the pattern seen in recent months, as stocks move higher in conjunction with gold and bitcoin. The latter two are roaring higher once more, as liquidity continues to drive these two momentum trades higher.
