Hard Assets as Long-Term Monetary Hedges

Conviction: 72% · Horizon: 3Y · 2026-04-19
Gold, silver, and Bitcoin remain attractive long-term hedges but should be bought during risk-off selloffs.

Persistent fiscal deficits, structurally higher inflation, and the risk of financial repression support scarce hard assets over the long run. In the short term, however, precious metals may trade like risk assets when speculative liquidity is driving both metals and technology stocks.

Instrument Side Target Reason
GLD Long Gold should benefit from negative real yields, fiscal dominance, and eventual pressure for policy makers to cap long-term rates, but better entries are likely during broader liquidity-driven selloffs.
BTC-USD Long Bitcoin offers scarce, non-sovereign exposure that can benefit if investors seek protection from currency debasement, persistent deficits, and negative real yields.
