Gold and S&P 500 Peaking Together 6 Times in 2025 — A 1970s Echo of Financial Chaos?

Joel Litman, chief strategist at Altimetry, calls it a “Goldilocks moment” where turbulence boosts gold while strong earnings drive stocks higher. He notes hundreds of stocks have doubled this year, showing investors can balance safety and growth. This unique alignment signals both opportunity and caution as inflation, profits, and uncertainty shape a historic market phase.
