Asset performance scoreboard so far this year tells an interesting story.

Precious metals are crushing it right now. Gold's up 60%, which is solid, but silver? That's the real showstopper at 101%. Meanwhile, Bitcoin's basically flat—down 1.4% year to date. Not what anyone expected at the start of the year.

Traditional equities are holding steady too. S&P 500 gained 16%, nothing crazy but respectable.

What's wild is how metals are outperforming everything else by such a huge margin. Market's clearly rotating into safe havens, and silver's double-digit surge suggests something bigger might be brewing—inflation concerns, geopolitical tension, or just old-school flight to safety.

We've still got a couple weeks left before year-end. Things could flip fast, especially in crypto. Will BTC stage a late comeback, or do metals keep running the show? Either way, this year's performance chart doesn't look like what most people predicted back in January.
