📊 2025 Asset Class Performance — Winners & Losers

Gold emerged as 2025’s top‑performing major asset class, significantly outpacing equities, cryptocurrencies, and oil. While crypto and oil declined, precious metals rallied, reflecting investor demand for safe havens amid macro uncertainty.

• 🥇 Gold: Best performer — up roughly 64% in 2025 driven by geopolitical stress, central bank buying, and safe‑haven flows.

• 📉 Cryptocurrencies: Bitcoin and broader crypto lagged, with many tokens down for the year.

• 🛢️ Oil: Crude prices slumped amid oversupply concerns and weaker demand.

• 📈 Equities: Major stock indexes still gained but fell short of metals’ performance — Nasdaq ~29%, other indices ~20%.

Major asset performance in 2025 highlights how risk sentiment and macro forces can redefine investment outcomes — with traditional safe havens like gold outperforming risk assets during market stress.
