He reiterated that he generally considers a 5% to 15% allocation to gold appropriate. By contrast, stablecoins, which are often pegged to fiat currencies, serve primarily as transactional tools rather than reliable stores of value, due to their lack of inherent yield, Dalio said.Read also:&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/news-articles/markets/cryptocurrency/michael-saylor-adds-green-dots-to-orange-dots-before-weekly-bitcoin-buy/cLeFTKqREt0">Michael Saylor Puts ‘Green Dots’ Spin To Orange Dots Signal Ahead Of Possible Weekly Bitcoin Buy</a>For updates and corrections, email newsroom[at]stocktwits[dot]com.

The debasement trade lives,” he wrote in a post on X.<a class="st-link-external" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://x.com/robin_j_brooks/status/2000873221252321576"><img src="https://news.stocktwits-cdn.com/Robin_Brooks_X_post_png_ff80a4c632.webp" alt="Robin Brooks X post.png"></a><h2 class="st-heading-2">Search For Safe Havens</h2>The move fits squarely into what can be called the “debasement trade,” where investors move capital out of fiat currencies and debt assets into hard assets such as gold and silver to guard against currency devaluation driven by policy changes.The underlying driver is the fear that inflation will steadily erode long-term savings. This has led investors to scramble for hedges, which is the primary reason for the increase in precious metals prices.<h2 class="st-heading-2">Momentum Spreading Beyond Gold</h2>What makes the current rally unusual is that gold is no longer the sole driver. Silver’s explosive gains have sparked follow-through buying in platinum and palladium, suggesting momentum trading. Gold not leading the rally also weakens the argument that central banks, particularly in emerging markets, are behind the move.Spot silver has been on a record-breaking run this month, gaining nearly 14%. It also hit an all-time high of $64.66 per ounce on Friday.<h2 class="st-heading-2">Is The Dollar An Issue?</h2>Importantly, this surge is unfolding while the U.S. dollar remains broadly stable against other major currencies. That signals the problem isn’t dollar weakness, but a more profound unease with fiat money itself, Brooks added. Investors appear to be questioning the long-term purchasing power of paper currencies in general, not just the greenback.That said, the U.S. Dollar Index (DXY) has fallen from its November high of 100.395 to 98.18, trading below its 200-day moving average.<figure class="image"><img style="aspect-ratio:1317/867;" src="https://news.stocktwits-cdn.com/DXY_png_cfa21c4eb1.webp" alt="DXY.png" width="1317" height="867"><figcaption>DXY YTD | Source: TradingView</figcaption></figure>Earlier pauses in precious metals prices coincided with major global meetings that forced markets to reassess valuations.
