Cloud described Treasurys as a defensive allocation and gold as a credit-risk hedge; he said Bitcoin’s volatility makes macro liquidity, risk appetite and institutional flows factors to watch.
Huobi HTX chief analyst Cloud outlined separate portfolio roles for short-term U.S. Treasurys, gold and Bitcoin (BTC), pointing to liquidity, risk appetite and institutional flows as factors to watch for the volatile cryptocurrency.
Cloud said short-term Treasurys are better suited to defensive allocations because their coupon income is comparatively stable. He described gold as a tool for hedging credit risk and diversifying holdings. For Bitcoin, he highlighted its volatility and said macro liquidity, market risk appetite and institutional fund flows warrant attention.
During the eighth installment of Huobi HTX’s livestream series, Cloud also reviewed asset performance across four macroeconomic scenarios: a soft landing, stagflation, recession and a renewed inflation rebound.
He emphasized risk management and portfolio allocation, saying there is no all-purpose asset and each asset has a different role.
