21 Ağustos 2026Bloomberg
  • Scott Bessent's recent efforts to manage US borrowing costs had a temporary effect on long-term yields, which fell for just a day. However, the more significant trend observed was a decline in the dollar's value, accompanied by increases in gold and Bitcoin prices.
  • This shift highlights a growing debasement trade, driven by increasing US deficits and uncertainties surrounding US economic policy.
  • The current economic landscape is characterized by rising US deficits and a complex monetary policy environment. Investors are increasingly wary of the long-term implications of these factors, leading to a reevaluation of asset allocations.
