JP Morgan has forecasted that the trend of investors using gold and bitcoin as a hedge against inflation and geopolitical risks will persist. In a research note, JP Morgan stated that these assets are becoming "increasingly important components of investors' portfolios." The so-called "debasement trade," which involves investing in assets expected to hold or increase their value during periods of currency depreciation, is expected to remain relevant. The research note highlighted that this trend is likely to continue due to the growing perception of gold and bitcoin as valuable assets. Overall, JP Morgan's findings suggest that investors are seeking alternative assets to mitigate the potential negative impact of depreciation on the value of their investments. This trend is expected to continue as geopolitical and economic uncertainties persist.
