Warren Pies Warns: 'Sell Government Bonds, Invest In Stocks And Bitcoin'

Macro expert and asset manager Warren Pies recently shared an important message on X. He points to two crucial developments that require further reflection.

Inflation and demand change

Pies argues that tariffs do not lead to inflation, but rather to a decrease in demand. On the other hand, larger trade deficits do lead to inflation. “As tariffs decrease and spending increases, we see a decrease in recession risk and an increase in inflation risk,” he says. This reflects my belief that it is important to understand these dynamics in the current economic landscape.

Equities and hard assets are the way forward

The translation into practical strategies is clear: buy stocks and hard assets, sell long-term government bonds. The long-term forecast clearly shows that inflation is a good reason to invest in scarcity, including Bitcoin, if you consider that a valuable savings option.

It is notable that inflation came in surprisingly low this week, with the latest consumer price index (CPI) showing the lowest reading since 2021. This leads to an interesting discussion about interest rate cuts. While some voices are calling for interest rate cuts, Pies’ view on a possible rise in inflation is causing some caution.

A bullish Trump

Another notable statement comes from Donald Trump, who recently stated that this is an excellent time to buy stocks. According to him, the US stock market will continue to rise, and that could also help Bitcoin's recovery. Especially now that companies like Strategy and Twenty One Capital are actively investing; recently, Twenty One Capital bought a whopping $458 million worth of Bitcoin.

It would be exciting to see how this all plays out in the coming weeks. Let’s not forget that the crypto market is full of surprises, and we need to be constantly alert.
