Gold year-to-date outperformance has been truly historic. Gold prices have risen 29.0% beating every other major asset.

Bitcoin: +13%, Emerging Markets: +14%, Swiss Franc: +11%, Japanese Yen: +9%, Industrial Metals: +3%, S&P 500: +2%, Long-Term Treasuries: +1%, US Dollar: -9%.

On the other hand, gold and silver have jumped 26% and 19%, respectively.
