U.Today - Mike McGlone, chief commodity strategist at Bloomberg Intelligence, has taken to his X account to share part of the recent report published by the analytics agency he works for and to mention that Bitcoin and a few other assets have been massively outpacing one fundamental asset lately – crude oil.
Bitcoin beats crude oil, McGlone explains why
In his tweet, McGlone stated that crude oil is currently on the bottom of his “annual macroeconomic-performance scorecard,” while Bitcoin, gold and the S&P 500 index are on top of it.These three outperforming crude oil is down to the rapidly advancing tech sphere, rising geopolitical tension and commodity deflation, the Bloomberg expert said. While oil is going down $50, gold is trading at $3,000 and Bitcoin is changing hands at $97,050 at the moment.
The screenshot shared by McGlone shows that in the last year, the world’s leading cryptocurrency, Bitcoin, has added 158.9% (125.5% year-to-date), while gold has gained 33.8% over the past year and 27.4% year-to-date.
In another tweet, he stated that gold has been rising and commodities falling since 2022, when Russia and China announced their collaboration. The expert likely believes that gold may continue to increase and commodities may keep going down in 2025.
