The S&P 500 plunged 5.89% on June 11, its fourth-worst fall this year. This brought back memories of the sharp sell-off seen in March when investors dumped most asset classes as the coronavirus pandemic took hold.
Although gold managed to close in the green on June 11, Bitcoin (BTC) plunged 6.16%. This suggests that investors sought the safety of gold over BTC, the top-ranked cryptocurrency on CoinMarketCap.
