Two conclusions emerge from their analysis: First, gold and oil historically reduce risk and tail losses over 5+ years by hedging inflation shocks—gold against fiscal and monetary credibility, oil against supply disruptions. Second, a higher allocation to gold is recommended due to institutional risk and central bank demand.For strategic hedging over long horizons (5+ years), Goldman recommends the following:* Go long and overweight gold to protect portfolios against shocks to US institutional credibility.* Go long but underweight enhanced oil futures to protect against hard-to-predict tail negative oil supply shocks.GoldFix Comment: Anti-Goldilocks has gone mainstream. Wall Street is now shifting its stance, with firms beginning to recommend gold over bonds—validating what we’ve been saying for the past three years. They're right. This is a long-term strategic shift, and we agree with the underlying analysis. The traditional 60/40 portfolio model is being redefined. Importantly, Goldman has been ahead of the curve on gold, and other banks are likely to follow, urging pension funds and 401(k) holders to increase exposure. While this may sound familiar to GoldFix readers, it’s breaking news for much of the West. That said, the easy gains are likely behind us.Premium post this weekendThis Weekend:Related Posts:Data on Deck: FRIDAY, MAY 30* 8:30 am Core PCE index April 0.1%0.0% * 8:30 am Core PCE (year-over-year) 2.6% 2.6% * 8:30 am Advanced U.S. trade balance in goodsApril* 9:45 am Chicago Business Barometer (PMI) May* 10:00 am Consumer sentiment (final) May * 4:45 pm San Francisco Fed President Mary Daly speech * Summary and Final Market Check…
