Vincent Deluard, StoneX global macro director, highlights rising U.S. Treasury yields, oil prices, and French bond-market stress as increasing risks in financial markets. Despite these pressures, he remains bullish on Bitcoin and gold, viewing them as hedges against currency debasement and potential quantitative easing.
