Gold and Bitcoin surge hands Treasury a post-midterm wake-up call

Original: Gold and bitcoin just gave Scott Bessent’s Treasury a post-midterm wake-up call

Both gold and bitcoin moved sharply in the wake of the US midterm elections, presenting an immediate challenge for Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent as he manages markets and fiscal policy. The simultaneous strength of the two assets is being read as a signal about investor appetite for alternatives to the dollar and growing pressure on Washington's economic posture after the vote.

Why now: Gold and bitcoin rallied right after the midterms, putting fresh pressure on Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent.
