The picture is unchanged: sovereign debt stress ultimately forces more explicit yield curve control, capping Treasury yields while shifting adjustment pressure onto the dollar. That combination is expected to lift inflation and support gold, bonds and stocks in dollar terms, though equities are not expected to keep pace with gold. Bitcoin may also benefit eventually, but protocol, custody and technology-correlation risks remain material.

HIGHER
Inflation rises under dollar devaluation and explicit yield curve control, with weaker-dollar import inflation eventually offsetting temporary relief from higher yields. Year
