BlackRock: Recommends gold and Bitcoin as a supplement to bond investments

Blackrock said in a report that government bonds are no longer a reliable buffer against the sell-off of risky assets such as stocks, and investors should consider using gold and Bitcoin as a supplement to bond investments. Economies around the world are undergoing a transformation that could continue to change long-term economic trends. In the face of rising inflation, bonds may not be able to withstand the sell-off in the stock market. Bonds no longer reliably diversify the risk in a portfolio across a wide range of potential outcomes and scenarios. This requires us to reconsider diversification. Therefore, investors should consider new diversification tools such as gold and Bitcoin, although they will not replace bonds.
