A Deficit Boost for Cryptocurrency and Stocks?
The recent Republican tax-cut bill, projected to swell the U.S. deficit by up to $3.8 trillion, according to Tolou Capital Management's Spencer Hakimian, may have surprising implications for Bitcoin, gold, US stocks, and bonds.
Bitcoin and Gold
Hakimian, a notable finance voice in the current turbulent economy, predicts that the ballooning deficit will benefit Bitcoin and gold. He suggests that these assets often act as hedges against fiscal uncertainties and inflation. The enthusiasm towards Bitcoin is further fueled by recent advancements, such as regulatory clarity and policy shifts[1][5].
U.S. Stocks
The bill's loose fiscal policy, combined with significant tax cuts and increased spending, is expected to stimulate economic activity, making US stocks a potential winner. The expansionary fiscal policy should have a positive impact on the stock market, making it easier for businesses to borrow and boosting corporate earnings prospects[2][4].
Bonds
On the other hand, bonds are likely to feel the pinch of the increasing government borrowing required to finance the ballooning deficit. This increased supply of bonds will put upward pressure on yields, causing bond prices to dip[3]. The FXStreet analysis deems the bill a "$3.8 trillion debt grenade," hinting at bond markets' reaction to rising yields and higher risk premiums[3].
In a nutshell, the potential impacts of the tax-cut bill are:
- Bitcoin and Gold: Predicted to gain from the loose fiscal policy and deficit expansion as safe-haven and inflation-hedge assets.
- U.S. Stocks: Likely to benefit from the stimulus and lower interest rate expectations, bolstering growth.
- Bonds: Expected to suffer due to increased supply, higher yields, and inflationary pressures, leading to weaker bond prices.
This scenario repeats a classic pattern where fiscal stimulus spurs equity and alternative asset growth while creating tension in fixed income markets due to higher borrowing costs[2][3][4].
