Gold as the current winner in a time of uncertainty
In the midst of a global landscape marked by sharp changes and controversial political decisions, the economic scenario in the United States presents many uncertainties that force investors to rethink their strategies.

However, the strength of these indicators is compromised by uncertainty arising from government policies.
Until there is more economic certainty, American consumer sentiment will remain vulnerable
Consumer confidence has been under scrutiny in recent months, due to investors' concerns about retail sales and consumer spending, the engine of the U.S. economy. If consumer confidence continues to decline, it is logical that consumer spending, which accounts for about two-thirds of U.S. GDP, will also be pressured. A reduction in spending could ripple throughout the economy.
The consumer confidence index has once again fallen short of economists' expectations, marking the fifth consecutive result since the November report came in below estimates. If there is anything positive, it is that each of the previous results was revised upward the following month. However, the most recent reading is the lowest since January 2021.
Confidence continues to decline among investors, consumers, and businesses as economic concerns and uncertainty about economic policy intensify. Until there is greater certainty in the tariff and macroeconomic arena, confidence and sentiment remain vulnerable. From now on, investors will focus their attention on this week's GDP and PCE reports (the latter being the inflation indicator preferred by the Fed) and next week's employment report to better understand the current economic context.

But it took only 22 days to generate a change in sentiment, causing the SP500 to lose 10%, marking one of the fastest corrections in recent history, a movement that resembles more the beginnings of a bear market than a simple technical correction.
Why Cryptocurrencies Could Be the Only Option in 2033?
Throughout the vast history of human civilization, money has been both master and servant. It has shaped economies, built empires, and dictated the fate of nations. However, money is not a static entity: it evolves, transforms, and sometimes completely reinvents itself. From barter in ancient civilizations to gold minted by monarchs, from the invention of paper money in China to the supremacy of the US dollar, the form of money has changed countless times. And if we look more closely, a disturbing pattern emerges: each monetary transformation occurs more rapidly than the last.
