A pictorial guide to asset price history

This article by Dan Polansky intends to give an idea of historical development of prices of various asset classes by means of charts.

Relevant notes:

  • In 1971, U.S. president Nixon canceled the convertibility of USD to gold, thereby effectively abandoning the Bretton Woods system.

Disclaimer: while calculating the change rates is rather straightforward, one would ideally source the charts from or compare them to a publication showing these kinds of charts. There is an increased risk of error. The plotting code for the Macrotrends-data-based series of charts is available at File:GoldPriceUSD.svg.

M1 is one way to define the money supply. Its technical definition varies between countries.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Selection criteria: euro and pound sterling are large currencies; Czech koruna is the currency of interest to the author. USD is plotted only up to 2020, before a change in definition made the data points after the change not directly comparable to data points before the change.

The plotting code is available in the file documentation on Commons.

Central bank interest rate edit

 

Above, we only plot the ECB marginal lending facility interest rate rather than also the other two ECB rates, but the other two rates are just offset by a fixed difference except for a few data points.

 

The CNB plot was included as of special interest to the article author.
