According to the CNBC report, Yuri Seliger noted a substantial increase in bond purchases this past week, with investments surpassing $6 billion in “high-grade” bonds—the highest level in two months. He added that high-yield credit funds are also seeing an influx, spurred largely by exchange-traded funds (ETFs).

Meanwhile, equity funds saw minor outflows during the same period, reflecting a cautious pivot toward less volatile options. Demand has been robust across various bond categories, including investment-grade corporate, municipal, and long-term Treasury bonds, suggesting investors are rebalancing rather than retreating.

In another twist, the Ishares Bitcoin Trust ETF (IBIT) is seeing explosive interest, CNBC reports. Blackrock’s IBIT ETF attracted over $2 billion in a week, including a record one-day influx of $870 million. Bitcoin ETFs overall have drawn over $23 billion since Jan., underscoring the growing appeal of cryptocurrencies as alternative assets.

Seliger’s observations underscore a broader appetite for assets viewed as secure stores of value amid rising economic unease and geopolitical concerns linked to the upcoming election. Similarly, gold has risen in parallel, trading at $2,736 per ounce. This dual strategy highlights a nuanced approach by investors who are seeking stability in bonds while also venturing into the potential of digital currencies.

These pre-election adjustments reveal a mixed sentiment: some investors are opting for the perceived safety of high-grade bonds, while others are drawn to bitcoin, perhaps eyeing its resilience in unpredictable economic climates.
