Dalio: Global Currency War Edge Approaching, Gold Remains Top Hedge
BlockBeats News, February 3rd, Legendary investor Ray Dalio warned on Tuesday that against the backdrop of escalating geopolitical tensions and increasing market volatility, the world is on the brink of a capital war. The so-called capital war refers to the weaponization of funds, where countries engage in gamesmanship through trade sanctions, blocking access to capital markets, and using debt ownership as leverage.
Despite the recent historic sell-off in precious metals leading to an across-the-board decline, Dalio stated that in the current tense situation, gold remains the best choice for storing funds. "Central banks, governments, or sovereign wealth funds may need to think about: What should the allocation of gold be in my portfolio, and maintain this fixed allocation—because gold, for poorly performing asset classes in the investment portfolio, is a highly effective diversification tool."
Dalio added: "It is precisely because gold can diversify risk that its performance is particularly outstanding in times of economic downturn and crisis; while in times of economic prosperity, its performance may be relatively flat, but it remains an effective risk diversification tool. I want to say that the most important thing is to build a well-diversified investment portfolio." (Jinse Finance)
