🚨"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. Last October, the analysts expressed bullishness on crypto heading into 2025, citing factors such as the debasement trade and growing institutional adoption, among others.

GOLD PRICE vs ETF flows

Since the onset of the Ukraine war, we have seen a significant decoupling between gold prices and ETF Gold flows. However, it look like a new trend is emerging - ETF flows are now turning positive again.

More bullish move ahead?

Hello everyone!

Small introduction: very new to getquin and "focussed" investing. 34 years old, Belgian, and I have done some very small investing (buying stocks, bonds, crypto) in the past few years, but never gave it too much thought and effort (total below 4 figures and did not have the time (work and 3 kids :-)).

Being self-employed, last year brought some large shifts. I have some spare time and am investing around 50k at the moment (which is a lot for me compared to some other portfolios I see here on getquin these past few days). I find myself enjoying following the markets and reading up on technical analysis a lot. Definitely not in this for day trading, but for the long term.

So goals: long term + have something better than the savings account our bank offers (which is not that hard).

I know myself and I get “enthusiastic” quickly about something, so in order to keep me from investing everything into crypto for example, I set these percentages for the ETFs, stocks and crypto I am investing in. This allows me to see where to put new money or what to buy next. Definitely keeping me from dumping everything into $BTC (-3,23%) at the moment :-).

What I am looking for, honest advice or feedback on this strategy and percentages. I am in the tech business myself, partially explaining the tech heavy focus. Again, I enjoy watching the markets and taking some risk, hence not going 100% $IWDA (-0,07%) or other single world ETF strategy ;-).

Thank you!
