Gold fell a fifth in 2008, on its way to a record high.
Gold's Swoon Echoes Financial Crisis Blip
The conditions are still there for an extended rally.
In times of coronavirus panic, even havens can be unreliable.
Gold closed off February on a tarnished note, ending last week with its steepest daily decline since 2013. As financial markets panicked over the spread of the pneumonia-like illness, stocks tumbled and dragged gold and other precious metals lower. That's a rare phenomenon for a metal that tends to shine brighter when everything else looks gloomy. It will also be a brief one.
Back in 2008, spot gold fell by more than a quarter between July and late October, before embarking on an unprecedented run toward $1,900 an ounce, once global rate cuts began in earnest.
