$1 trillion could be drained as Treasury 'breaks' market, gold and Bitcoin are good positions to take - James Lavish JamesLavish gold silver
- As the U.S. Treasury Department refills its General Account by selling assets, $1 trillion in liquidity could be drained from markets, warned James Lavish, co-Managing Partner at the Bitcoin Opportunity Fund and Author of"The Informationist" Substack. This, in turn, could"break" markets and cause a sell-off.
The Treasury Department needs to raise funds to replace its cash balance, which fell from $723.3 billion to $44.8 billion over one year as the Treasury used its funds to fulfill government spending obligations. The Treasury General Account, which is the federal government's operating account, was used to fulfill these obligations during debt ceiling negotiations in Congress.

Lavish added that Fed Chair Jerome Powell wants to"keep confidence in the U.S. dollar," and that Powell is willing to"sacrifice" low unemployment for lower inflation.
