Record S&P 500 while US debt explodes to $39 trillion: Bitcoin has its chance during recession?
The US federal debt is heading toward $39 trillion, inflation is rising again, and the yield curve is sending signals that history has seen before recessions.
Two open conflicts, the US-Iran conflict that began on February 28 and the ongoing war in Ukraine, have disrupted energy and logistics with the blockade of the Strait of Hormuz.
Global stock indices are setting new records with the Nasdaq, S&P 500, Nikkei and KOSPI South Korean, while crypto in April are seeing a rebound with Bitcoin toward $80,000 USDT.
The US federal debt stands at $38.51 trillion, with a quarterly increase of $876 billion (+2.33%). The debt stock grows by $1 trillion every 100 days and in 2026 Treasury issuances will reach an average of $1 trillion per month between refinancing and new deficit.
Interest on the debt now absorbs 18% of federal revenues. For comparison, in Italy the ratio stops at 9-10% of public revenues despite a higher debt-to-GDP ratio.
Despite the euphoria in financial markets, the structural problem of the cost of American money remains the elephant in the room.
