Episode notes
Trump Boosts Bitcoin via 401k Order
- Trump's executive order to allow Bitcoin in 401k plans caused a strong Bitcoin rally.
- However, practical implementation and infrastructure for crypto in retirement accounts remain uncertain.
US Tariffs Shake Gold Markets
- U.S. punitive tariffs on Swiss gold imports have disrupted the gold futures market, creating a sharp dislocation between futures and spot prices.
- This challenges the U.S. market's price discovery role and may shift some trading focus toward Asian and London gold markets.
Possible Capital Control via Gold Tariffs
- The underlying goal for the U.S. tariffs on gold could be to prevent capital outflows into gold vaults abroad.
- This might concurrently encourage demand for cryptos like Bitcoin as an alternative store of value.
