Odaily Planet Daily News Cantor Fitzgerald pointed out in its biweekly macro report released on Tuesday that inflation issues will continue to pose challenges and there are significant upward risks, while suggesting that investors pay attention to gold and bitcoin as potential investments against inflation. The report emphasized that although the Federal Reserve began its rate-cutting cycle in September, the core inflation rate has remained above 2% for four consecutive years, indicating substantial inflationary pressure. Nevertheless, Cantor Fitzgerald predicts that the stock market will rise before the end of the year, but in the medium term, the outlook for the stock market is not optimistic and could prove to be a poor investment choice. Specifically, Cantor Fitzgerald reiterated concerns about the upward risk of inflation rates, pointing out that even in the context of a core inflation rate consistently above 2%, inflation risks remain significant. In the face of this challenge, the financial institution recommends that investors take proactive measures, with gold and bitcoin seen as effective tools against inflation. Cantor Fitzgerald explicitly stated: "Our view is to buy bitcoin and gold to respond to the inflation theme." To assist investors with similar thoughts, the report also listed a series of gold and bitcoin-related exchange-traded funds (ETFs) that can be further monitored. Among them, bitcoin ETFs include iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT.US), ARK 21Shares Bitcoin ETF (ARKB.US), Grayscale Bitcoin Trust (GBTC.US), CoinShares Valkyrie Bitcoin Fund (BRRR.US), Invesco Galaxy Bitcoin ETF (BTCO.US), VanEck Bitcoin Trust (HODL.US), WisdomTree Bitcoin Fund (BTCW.US), Fidelity Wise Origin Bitcoin Trust (FBTC.US), Bitwise Bitcoin ETP Trust (BITB.US), Franklin Bitcoin ETF (EZBC.US), etc. (Zhitong Finance Network)
