🚨"The gold price appreciation over the past year has gone well beyond the moves implied by dollar and real bond yield shifts, and likely reflects the re-emergence of this 'debasement trade,'" JPMorgan analysts led by Nikolaos Panigirtzoglou wrote in a report on Friday. Meanwhile, a record capital inflow into crypto markets in 2024 suggests that bitcoin is also becoming "a more important component" of investors' portfolios, they added.

👉 The debasement trade refers to a strategy where investors turn to assets like gold and bitcoin to hedge against the devaluation of fiat currencies, often driven by factors such as inflation, rising government debt and geopolitical instability.

🚨Overall, with both gold and bitcoin gaining structural importance, the debasement trade is here to stay, according to the analysts.
