This Tuesday, global financial markets suffered a sharp retreat following increased geopolitical tensions stemming from new tariff threats by the U.S. administration. In this scenario of uncertainty, Bridgewater Associates founder Ray Dalio warns about the collapse of the fiat monetary order, noting that the current system based on debt and traditional currencies is crumbling in the face of hard assets.
The impact of this warning fell heavily on Wall Street, where indices such as the Nasdaq and the Dow Jones saw significant losses, while Bitcoin struggles to stay above $90,000 amidst a generalized sell-off of risk assets. Conversely, precious metals like gold reached new all-time highs near $4,740 per ounce, reflecting a massive rotation of capital toward safe havens due to distrust in the dollar and the euro.
The implementation of the tariffs announced for February and their effect on inflation will be under the market’s microscope in the coming days, as this could force central banks to reconsider their monetary policies. If economic stagnation persists, Bitfinex analysts suggest that Bitcoin could regain its appeal as a liquidity barometer, provided it manages to absorb the current supply and consolidate a firm floor against macroeconomic volatility.
