It explains how simultaneous declines in stocks and bonds challenged the portfolio's diversification benefits, leading to significant losses. The discussion explores the reasons for this failure, primarily the breakdown of the historical negative correlation between stocks and bonds in an inflationary environment. Furthermore, it highlights the increasing importance of gold and commodities as inflation hedges and sources of portfolio diversification, citing perspectives from major financial institutions.
