As the global economy grows rapidly, capital is shifting from financial markets to the real economy, tightening liquidity and causing stress in less-liquid markets like junk bonds and small-cap stocks. This dynamic, driven more by strong economic growth than central bank tightening, is leading to a late-stage liquidity cycle with rising bond yields and a flattening yield curve. Increasing debt maturities from low-interest borrowing during COVID could force policymakers to resume monetary expansion, which would likely boost assets like gold and Bitcoin as hedges against inflation. Despite short-term weakness, these conditions present opportunities to increase exposure to these assets. In China, monetary expansion is also expected due to weak growth and debt deflation, supporting demand for gold as a hedge.
