Financial Storm: Salvation Lies in Gold and Swiss Franc
When markets are turbulent, investors seek reliable havens. And now, gold and the Swiss franc have become such havens.
— The dollar has fallen to 2018 levels
— The franc strengthened to 0.8100 — down 12% from the 2024 peak
— Gold soared to $3240 — +125% since the pandemic and +24% just in 2025
— S&P 500 and Nasdaq are down
— Even Bitcoin has retraced from $109,300 to $85,000
Switzerland is an island of stability: neutrality, banking secrecy, investments in giants like Apple and Microsoft. And gold remains a shiny asset in both literal and figurative senses.
In simple terms: the market is trembling, but money does not disappear — it seeks refuge.
