Summary
Gold plays a specific role in the late stage of the 18.6-year cycle: capital rotates from equities into commodities (including gold) in the latter stages. Central banks and large investors are also rotating reserves out of US Treasuries into gold. The gold run from ~2022 lows reached 4,000 in early 2026 — mirroring the May/June 2006 correction (25%) that preceded gold’s continued bull run into the 2008 crisis.
