ABSTRACT: This paper investigates the relations between gold and US equity by
focusing on the period for the recent five years from 2017 to 2022, which is
during and after the COVID-19 crisis, and derives the following findings.
First, for the five years during and after the COVID-19 crisis, gold and US
equity returns were little correlated. Second, during the five years, US equity
returns were higher than gold returns. Third, during the five years, US equity
volatilities were clearly higher than gold volatilities.
