Gold’s move above $4,600/oz on Aug. 21, alongside high long-term Treasury yields, points to more than a routine flight to safety. The market may be separating protection from volatility from protection against sovereign balance-sheet risk. That distinction matters. Bonds can still cushion portfolios in a slowdown, while gold and BTC may gain weight when fiscal stress and monetary credibility dominate. Ray Dalio’s call to underweight bonds and allocate 10%-15% to gold reflects that changing hedge framework, not necessarily the end of bonds. The stronger portfolio may hold different defenses for different risks. Not advice, just analysis. #Gold4600VsBonds
