Gold is outperforming tech stocks this year, and investors should keep buying, BofA says

Bank of America strategist Michael Hartnett advises buying gold amid record-high prices.

Hartnett said potential Fed rate cuts could stoke fresh inflation, which would be bullish for gold.

Gold's year-to-date rally of about 20% is outperforming US tech stocks.

Investors should buy gold even as the metal hovers around record-high prices, according to Bank of America investment strategist Michael Hartnett.

In a note on Thursday, Hartnett said investors should "do what central banks are doing… buy gold."

That's because interest rate cuts from the Federal Reserve in the coming months pose a risk to stoking a rebound in inflation next year, Hartnett said, and real assets, like gold, have historically performed well during bouts of inflation.

Hartnett's comments come amid a record rally in the precious metal, with gold prices surging about 20% year-to-date, outpacing the gains of the S&P 500 by a few percentage points, and outperforming technology stocks.
