Nobody has thought about this question yet, but it’s time! Not a day goes by without new cash injections into the economy and markets. On Tuesday afternoon, the U.S. announced that it would buy back commercial papers from the market for $1 trillion and help the population for $850 billion. All this happens against the background of a huge drop in production and asset prices. Naturally, there is an idea that immediately after the end of the pandemic, prices for everything will start to rise. And right now, the price of food will start to rise.

STOCK MARKETS
However, the decisions made in the USA gave the market a little rest. Stock indices are growing synchronously. The main question is, how long will the optimism last? Fundamentally, the situation just keeps getting worse.
AUSTRALIAN DOLLAR
Against the background of falling stock markets no one paid attention to the extremely significant event. Above we see the AUD/USD monthly chart. Against the background of the October 2008 crisis, the pair dropped to the level of 0.60, but failed to break it down, and went up, almost doubling in a few years. On Tuesday, the bears did what they failed to do 12 years ago. The 0.60 was broken through. The previous long-term lows were as early as 0.477 in 2000.
BITCOIN
As we noted yesterday, Bitcoin continues to feel very confident. For a better understanding of the situation, let’s compare the gold market worth $7 trillion with BTC’s market capitalization, which is currently less than $100 billion. In theory, one large fund can buy back all existing Bitcoin on the planet. Of course, this will not work in reality, as the price will start to rise rapidly.That is why, thanks to the inflation-free model, BTC is much more attractive for long-term investments than yellow metal.
