Analyst Warns US Debt Crisis Is Possible — Rising Treasury Yields, Inflation, Stock Market Rout Could Cause 'Multiple Black Swans'
Wall Street’s major indexes closed the day in red on Tuesday, alongside cryptocurrencies, and precious metals like gold and silver taking some percentage losses. The leading crypto asset bitcoin dropped 5.87% under the $19K region, while the second largest crypto asset ethereum shed 8.7%. Gold’s nominal U.S. dollar value per troy ounce slipped by 0.50%, while silver dropped by 0.74% on September 6. Meanwhile, a recent rise in U.S. Treasury yields has been concerning and one analyst thinks the anomaly could spark an American debt crisis.
“The end result of all this is either some kind of sovereign default crisis, which is a deflation event, or the exact opposite, which is hyperinflation, which results in conditions under which something really bad comes.”
