🍔🥇 McDonald's vs Gold: An Unexpected Safe Haven in Times of Turbulence

Markets are shaking again 📉

Stocks are falling, gold is correcting, crypto is flying faster than anything 🚀⬇️

And suddenly a strange question arises: could it be that the "safe haven" is not a metal at all?

🍔 And now pay attention — McDonald's (MCD)

Amid the sell-off, the market is shaky, yet MCD stands firm like a rock 🪨

No panic, no hysteria, no crashes.

Why is this?

✅ The company earns not only from burgers but also from real estate rentals

✅ Franchisees take on the risks, the corporation collects rent and royalties

✅ In a crisis, people don’t stop eating — they switch to cheaper food

✅ Global business: 100+ countries 🌍 — local problems are not critical

📊 Big Mac as an Economic Indicator

The Big Mac Index has long become a popular way to explain inflation.

In one burger — wages, rent, logistics, raw materials, and taxes 🍟

Essentially, this is "inflation in simple terms" — clearer than CPI and central bank reports.

📌 McDonald's does not replace gold — it complements it.

When "safe havens" start to shake, a stable business with everyday demand can protect capital better than the abstract value of metal.
