The Illusion of Safety: How Global Markets are Redefining the “Safe Haven”
Why the US Dollar and Treasuries are losing their status, and where capital is flowing next.
About this episode
In this deep dive, we explore the seismic shift occurring in global financial markets as the traditional cornerstones of portfolio protection—the US Dollar and long-duration US Treasuries—face unprecedented challenges. For decades, investors relied on the "US dollar smile" and the convenience yield of government bonds to reliably hedge against equity drawdowns. However, we break down how exploding sovereign debt levels, persistent inflation volatility, and shifting geopolitical landscapes have fundamentally altered these historical relationships.
