SIMILARITIES BETWEEN THE 1960–1980 PERIOD AND TODAY IN GOLD AND SILVER

The rise in commodities, particularly gold and silver, between 2024 and 2026 has led us to question whether a new commodity era has begun. Looking back at the rally in gold and silver between 2000 and 2011, we can see that it was not merely a commodity boom but a rally across almost all asset classes. We need to look specifically at the 1960–1980 period, when commodities were among the dominant performers. This makes it necessary to examine how closely that period resembles the world we live in today.Gold bullion stacked by Steve Bidmead via Pixabay
