Stocks, bonds, gold, and crypto are all falling at the same time. One market just grew 23.1% last year. Here’s how you can invest.

Here's the paradox no one's talking about: the Iran war should be sending investors into safe havens. But they’re selling instead.

Oil doubled since February 28. Historically, that’s helped drive inflation. Inflation drives rate hike expectations (now at 45%, up from 11%).

And higher rates have their impact on everything, gold included.

Still floating at record highs, it’s down 18.6% from its peak. In the middle of a war.

"Whether it's stocks, bonds, or gold, they're all falling," a Bank of East Asia strategist told CNBC this week.

But the art market seems to be in a growth trajectory.

U.S. auction sales rose 23.1% in 2025, and the $1mm-$5mm segment grew 40.8% in value.

Almost no one knows this, but post war and contemporary art grew 10.2% annually over the last 30 years with near-zero equity correlation.*

It trades in any global currency. And supply is scarce.

THIS WEEK’S MONEY MAKING MOVE

Two smart ways to upgrade your life — financially and personally. Start where it fits you best.

Brain-Boosting Hearing Innovation

When your hearing struggles, your brain works overtime to fill in the gaps, which can affect memory, focus, and energy over time. Horizon IX from hear.com lightens that load. This tiny, virtually invisible device uses advanced German dual‑processing technology to separate speech from background noise, so conversations feel effortless again. Built for modern life and all‑day comfort, it’s available with a 45‑day no‑risk trial so you can hear the difference for yourself.

The $2 Trillion Asset Class You're Missing

While retail investors chase volatile tech stocks, institutions like BlackRock and KKR are quietly allocating billions to private credit—a market that's grown 19x since 2006 and now approaches $2 trillion globally.

Why? Private credit offers what traditional portfolios increasingly lack: consistent yield potential (Percent's marketplace delivered 14.9% average net returns in 2024), lower correlation to public markets, and shorter investment horizons averaging just 9 months.

With Percent, accredited investors can now access the same institutional-quality deals that were once exclusive to the ultra-wealthy. Start with as little as $500 and get up to $500 on your first investment. Invest like the smart money.
