Geopolitical tension and the upcoming U.S. presidential election will likely underpin the ‘debasement trade,’ and this favors both bitcoin and gold, JPMorgan said in a research report on Wednesday. “A Trump win in particular, apart from being supportive of bitcoin from a regulatory point of view, would likely reinforce the ‘debasement trade’ both via tariffs (geopolitical tensions) and via an expansionary fiscal policy (‘debt debasement’),” analysts wrote. If the “Trump trade” plays out in a similar way to 2016, there should be higher U.S. Treasury yields, a stronger dollar, U.S. stock market outperformance, in particular banks, and tighter credit spreads, JPMorgan said. This shift has not happened yet, with only a small move higher seen in these markets.
