Abstract: This paper analyzes the correlation among volatility regimes, safe havens, asymmetric effects, contagions, and flights in the gold market for five considered countries during 2002–2018. Based on a two-state, quantile-based Markov-switching GJR-GARCH model, the safe-haven ability of gold against stocks and inverted asymmetric volatility is revealed to be associated with a high-volatility regime. Moreover, contagion (flight) generally occurs if, during a crisis period, the gold market is in the low (high) volatility regime. The results of this study highlight the importance of considering gold market volatility regimes in a study of the relative topics on financial asset allocation.
