We investigate gold's role as a hedge or safe haven against oil price and currency movements across calm and extreme market conditions. For the empirical analysis, we extend the intraday multifractal correlation measure developed by Madani et al. (Bankers, Markets & Investors, 163:2-13, 2020) to consider the dependence for calm and extreme movement periods across different time scales. Interestingly, we employ the rolling window method to examine the time-varying dependence between gold-oil and gold-currency in terms of calm and turmoil market conditions. Based on high frequency (5-min intervals) across the period 2017-2019, our analysis shows three interesting findings. First, gold acts as a weak (strong) hedge for oil (currency) market movements, across all agent types. Second, gold has strong safe-haven capability against extreme currency movements, and against only short time scales of oil price movements. Third, hedging strategies confirm the scale-dependent gold's role in reducing portfolio risk as a hedge or safe haven. Implications for investors, financial institutions, and policymakers are discussed.

The financial industry evolves rapidly, offering numerous opportunities but also introducing inherent risks that require careful navigation by institutions. This paper explores the performance of traditional and digital assets as tools for hedging, diversification, and safe-haven strategies during the Russian-Ukrainian crisis and the Silicon Valley Bank (SVB) collapse. Utilizing daily data from April 30, 2021, to September 15, 2023, and employing the Asymmetric Dynamic Conditional Correlation (ADCC) model, which combines four Generalized Autoregressive Conditional Heteroskedasticity (GARCH) family models and two residual distributions, we conduct a comprehensive analysis.

This paper examines gold and cryptocurrencies' hedge and safe-haven capabilities against various downturns, including the COVID-19 pandemic and Geopolitical Risks (GPR), across different market conditions. The study covers a sample period from 2013 to 2021 at a daily frequency, employing the GARCH model and quantile regression with binary variables. The empirical results indicate that neither gold nor cryptocurrencies can act as strong hedges against infectious disease pandemics.

The Phase 3 randomized controlled trial, TBTC Study 31/ACTG A5349 (NCT02410772) demonstrated that a 4-month rifapentine-moxifloxacin regimen for drug-susceptible pulmonary tuberculosis was safe and effective. The primary efficacy outcome was 12-month tuberculosis disease free survival, while the primary safety outcome was the proportion of grade 3 or higher adverse events during the treatment period. We conducted an analysis of demographic, clinical, microbiologic, radiographic, and pharmacokinetic data and identified risk factors for unfavorable outcomes and adverse events.
