Gold Has Been Outperforming the US500 for Years
As pointed out by Rashad Hajiyev, a leading metals expert, gold has been seriously outperforming the S&P 500 for 25 years. The asset has been slowly gaining traction under the radar, delivering steady gains as compared to the S&P500.
Statistically, Hajiyev shared how gold has increased nearly 17-fold over the last 25 years, while the S&P 500 has risen a little less than 5 times.
“Gold price increased 17-fold over the past 25 years (since 2001). During the same period, the S&P 500 increased a little less than 5 times. Gold definitely beat the US500…”
With the new geopolitical tensions taking over as the US-Venezuela matter heats up, gold is expected to rise again, as investors seek safety amid chaos.
“I think we are going to see further development of geopolitical events in 2026 along with a reset of a global financial system triggering gold and silver repricing. It’s worth noting that the USA has the largest gold reserves in the world…”
Gold’s Next Price Targets
As per Hajiyev, gold is now trying to climb the high radar, aiming to breach the $5K mark in the near future.
“The gold-to-silver ratio (GTS) broke 11-year support in December 2025. Broken support should act as a resistance. Upon successful retest, I expect GTS to head back to lower lows of 40 and then lows of 30. Even with $5k gold and GTS 40 – 44, silver should be trading around the $115 – 120 level. Silver nearly doubling in price could happen very quickly… This post is not investment advice…”
