Abstract
The belief that investors shift to gold during times of economic stress, resulting in a negative correlation between gold returns and stock returns, is not supported in both the 2007–09 financial crisis and during COVID-19. However, the gold-stock market relationship is positive in periods of negative real rates of return. The evidence points to gold as a safe haven in times of stock market volatility and negative interest rates.
