This study tests the suitability of Bitcoin and Gold as safe-haven instruments during the equity market meltdown caused by Covid-19. The results indicate that Gold consistently exhibits safe haven properties in the long and short run, while Bitcoin's effectiveness varies.
We test the suitability of Gold and Bitcoin as safe-haven instruments in the backdrop of the Covid-19 related equity market meltdown by implementing the newly proposed Wavelet Quantile Correlation. We employ daily returns of Bitcoin, Gold, DJIA, CAC40, NSE50, S&P 500, NASDAQ, and EURO-STOXX from 05-01-2015 to 31-12-2020. Our results show that Gold consistently exhibits safe haven properties for all the markets except NSE in the long and short run, while Bitcoin provided mixed results. We find that Gold can act as an effective hedge and diversifier as well.
