Anxiety over President Donald Trump’s tariff plans is driving an increase in the assets of safe haven such as gold and treasury accounts. Don’t call it a panic yet – it’s closer to a worry. Wall Street suggested on Wednesday for the launch of the tariff, with forecasts about moving higher. Goldman Sachs increased 2025 core inflation estimates by 0.5 percentage points. Meanwhile, targets for the S&P 500 are lower. The concern is that rates can increase consumer prices and combat economic growth. This has led investors to put money in the world’s safest assets at a dizzying pace. Net flows into the SPDR Gold stock exchange traded fund in February and March was on average more than 30 times the average seen over the past two decades. The leading month of Comex Gold Futures Contract rose 19% in the first quarter, the best profit for gold since 1986. The precious metal stuck near its record level on Tuesday. The SPDR Bloomberg 1-3 months T-Bill ETF had net flow of $ 3.2 billion in March, the highest monthly flow in two years. This indicates that market is seeking stability and wants to park its capital in highly liquid assets with low duration as a hedge against possible volatility. A risk limited tone also drove on the returns on the US government effect at the longer point of the year. Falling returns indicate an increased demand for effects. Tuesday’s return dropped to 4.156%, the lowest level since December 6. Goldman sees that 10 years drops to 4% by the end of the year, and revised the call lower of 4.35% Tuesday. The yield of 30 years is at its fifth lowest level this year. Stephen Spratt, a rates strategist at Société Générale SA in Hong Kong, has appeared a nervousness of investors in hedging behavior. “With the markets expecting a broad tariff movement to be on the inflation side immediately, but bites on the growing edge, the long -lasting prolonged fashion is in fashion.” After all, there are not enough signs to call it a full-fledged panic just look at the corporate bond market. Rubbish bonds spread, or the additional returns offered by the risky businesses on risk -free effects, have moved to 3.55 percentage points from Monday’s closure, the highest since August. But it cannot be considered ugly. The average of ten years for these distributions is about four percentage points and the market was below three percentage points until last month. David Rosenberg, Rosenberg Research, wrote that he does not “disagree at all”, which means they do not offer much returns on treasury. The same logic can be applied to effects of US blue-chip companies. The assessed BAA offers 1.76 percentage points in extra yields, which is an eight -month peak, but still lower than historical highlights. “An increase above 2% consistent which would be a much more negative signal that the bond market with nervous investors began to agree on future economic growth,” wrote Tom Essaye of Sevens Report. Also consider shares. The SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust had an outflow of $ 18.4 billion in March and is more than 4%this year. But the market is not far from its record level. The S&P 500 is 8.3% away from its last record of 6144.15 on February 19, after closing 0.4% on Tuesday. It is not clear what the administration has in the store, but no one is still running for the hills. Write to Karishma VanJani at karishma.vanjani@dowjones.com.
