Bitcoin has attracted a lot of attention from individual and institutional investors. Overall, while interest rates, inflation, and market volatility can all have an impact on Bitcoin prices.
With regards to the question as to whether the most important macroeconomic variables for forecasting Bitcoin prices are the same as those for gold prices, the answer is mixed. The oil price volatility index is an important predictor for both Bitcoin price direction and gold price direction indicating that Bitcoin is a substitute for gold in diversifying this type of volatility. Ten-year bond yields are also important for predicting Bitcoin price direction. The 10-year US Treasury bond is often used to gauge investor confidence and is a proxy for other financial assets like mortgage rates. The importance of the 10-year bond yield in predicting Bitcoin prices indicates that Bitcoin is being viewed by investors as an investable asset but not necessarily as a hedge against inflation. By comparison gold prices are more influenced by inflation than Bitcoin indicating that gold can be used as a hedge or diversification asset against inflation.
