Gold prices rise by an incredible amount during a recession, a recent example is in the 2008 economic crisis, where gold price skyrocketed in a few short years. Why? well, during a recession like the recent one, people tend to not trust currencies and look for physical goods which can be stored without fear of falling in value (gold has been a precious metal for thousands of years). During 08 many countries borrowed money and as a result it created the possibility of monetary inflation ontop of the current level of inflation in order to repay the debts, as a result many people turned to gold and other precious metals for safety. Furthermore, during a recession people tend to not trust banks with money, so having a physical item you can trade for is of much more value.
