Here is a summary of five representative gold crash events:
1. 1980–1982: The most catastrophic crash in history
850 → around 300 Drop: about 60%
Core reason: Gold surged throughout the 1970s due to the oil crisis + high inflation, reaching a historic high of $850/oz in January 1980
The Federal Reserve raised interest rates aggressively to combat runaway inflation, causing real interest rates to soar and the speculative bubble to burst
2. 1996: Internet boom and strong dollar
415 → 320 Drop: about 25%
Core reason: The booming US internet economy and a strong dollar attracted capital outflows from gold
In the 1990s, global economic stability led central banks worldwide to believe gold was “useless,” prompting large-scale sales of reserves
3. March–October 2008: Financial crisis liquidity squeeze
1000 → 700 Drop: about 30%
Core reason: The global financial crisis caused liquidity shortages, with investors selling all assets (including gold) for cash
4. 2013: QE exit and the US dollar super cycle
1550 → 1320 Drop directly -15%, with an annual decline of over -28%
Core reason: US economic recovery, the Fed ending quantitative easing and starting interest rate hikes, causing the dollar to strengthen continuously
5. February–March 2020: Pandemic liquidity crisis
2075 → 1670 Drop: about 14%–27% (short-term sharp fluctuations)
Core reason: During the COVID-19 pandemic, market panic triggered liquidity crises, leading to gold being sold off for US dollar cash
Wake up, the real secret to getting rich is never hoarding gold at high prices, but learning to calmly say the professor’s catchphrase in #纸钞屋 :
‘Belén, el plan sigue en pie.’ (The plan is still in effect) #金价突破5200美元
