When a pandemic occurs, real business activities such as real estate, private enterprises, or production in factories and enterprises are shut down. Money flows during the pandemic have poured into stocks, gold, and bitcoin. Some countries like the US and Vietnam have good stock markets, which have not declined after falling in March this year. Bitcoin has also risen rapidly to ATH of $ 12,000 this year. The highest gold of all time 2000 $ / oz.
Cash flow is moving and people are doing more online business and that is why the crypto market has a chance to explode.
Shutting down businesses and money flowing through stocks, gold and bitcoin aren't related. These two things are actually in contradiction to each other and there is a specific set of circumstances that have created this scenario. When economic activity shuts down, there is less wealth in aggregate in the economy. Excess wealth is what boosts asset prices of things like stocks, gold and bitcoin. However, stocks have inherent value as they represent a legal ownership of the share of profits of the underlying business, so theoretically even with decreased aggregate wealth in the economy there is a floor under which you would not expect stocks to sink, or at least not sink below and stay for very long. Neither gold nor bitcoin generate cash flow or profit, and have no inherent value; they are only valuable because large groups of people agree they are. Since there is decreased aggregate wealth in the economy due to the economic shutdowns associated with the pandemic, we should reasonably expect to see asset prices decline, save for the offsetting of people fleeing riskier assets (like stocks) and into perceived safety assets (like gold). And no, bitcoin is not a safe haven. The reason we're seeing the stock market make all time highs with such a depressed economy is that the Fed is forcing tremendous amounts of new liquidity into the market, and that's depressing yields on bonds and treasuries. Now money has to chase yield by moving into riskier assets, like equities. This is what is boosting stock prices. Because this is artificial and not driven by underlying improvements in the economy, I don't see anyway this ends well down the line.
