Legendary investor Paul Tudor Jones says he's buying gold and bitcoin pre-election because inflation will rise under both Trump and Harris
Read Original Source
Paul Tudor Jones is holding gold, bitcoin, and commodities to hedge against inflation, as neither presidential candidate has a plan suitable for tackling US debt, the legendary investor said. The billionaire hedge fund manager told CNBC that inflation risk looms large after November's election, as each contender has pledged tax cuts and spending proposals that turn a blind eye to Washington's deficit problem. If left unaddressed, the US will need to inflate its way out, he cautioned.
