AI Summary
Summarized by AI from the source belowInvestors allocated a record $7 billion to gold and Bitcoin (BTC) funds in just five days, with SPDR Gold Shares (GLD) attracting $3.4 billion and BlackRock's iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT) gaining just over $1 billion. The 60/40 portfolio strategy, which consists of 60% stocks and 40% bonds, is criticized for being fully exposed to fiat currency, potentially losing value as the dollar weakens. The U.S. debt surpassed $40 trillion on August 19, and the 30-year Treasury yield reached 5.337%, its highest level since 2007. This shift indicates a preference for hard assets among investors, which may impact future portfolio strategies.
