Bitcoin and Gold Both Win If Trump Secures Election, Says JP Morgan

Bitcoin and Gold are both expected to benefit from geopolitical uncertainty, concerns about the strength of the dollar, and the upcoming U.S. election, according to JP Morgan analysts. In a report, the bank stated that a “debasement trade” could drive demand for both assets and push up their prices. The analysts believe that if Donald Trump secures the presidency, the likelihood of such a trade increases. A “debasement trade” is when traders hedge against weakening currencies, geopolitical headwinds, and government deficits, and both gold and Bitcoin are considered good options for such trades. Trump’s policy to increase tariffs could lead to more inflation and geopolitical tensions, which would further favor both gold and Bitcoin. It is worth noting that despite previously being anti-crypto, Trump has expressed support for the cryptocurrency industry this year. Gold has reached new highs this year, while Bitcoin is close to touching its all-time high. These trends indicate that both assets are likely to see continued gains in the weeks to come.
