Summary

Fernando Ulrich analyzes the Bitcoin breakout above $79,500 and links it to the US Treasury's debt intervention and fiat debasement, while also covering gold, silver and diesel as scarce/constrained assets. He discusses foreign outflows from Brazilian equities, the limits of US debt management, Moderna's mRNA cancer vaccine data, and viewer questions on Brazilian fiscal risk and Bitcoin-related ETFs.

  • Bitcoin rose more than 20% on the week, supported by Treasury intervention, short covering, ETF inflows and long-term holder accumulation.
  • Gold and silver are highlighted as beneficiaries of the same fiat-debasement trend.
  • Brazilian equities are experiencing the third-largest foreign outflow since 2008, with debt inflows also reversing over the last three months.
  • Diesel and its crack spread are near record highs on refinery disruptions and Ormuz-related supply risks.
  • US Treasury intervention is viewed as temporary, with 10-year and 30-year yields already reversing higher.
  • Moderna and Merck reported positive mRNA cancer vaccine data, driving MRNA sharply higher.
  • In Q&A, Ulrich sees direct Brazilian default as unlikely and expresses a positive view on DIGY11 and ABTC3 as Bitcoin-related vehicles.
Ideas

Bitcoin benefits from fiat debasement and flows.
Bitcoin broke above $79,500 after the US Treasury announced more intervention to support long-term debt by issuing short-term debt, which Ulrich interprets as evidence that heavily indebted developed governments must tolerate higher inflation and keep debasing fiat currencies. He argues scarce, non-inflatable assets like Bitcoin should appreciate secularly. Technical signals also support upside: heavy short liquidation, the strongest ETF inflows since Bitcoin traded near $80,000, conviction long-term holders increasing purchases, and low spot volume above $75,000 creating an air pocket. He believes the worst is likely past and still sees a good long-term entry.

Gold and silver rise on fiat debasement.
The same Treasury intervention and unsustainable sovereign debt backdrop show that fiat currencies will continue to be depreciated. Ulrich highlights gold, silver and other precious metals as scarce, non-inflatable assets that should appreciate as investors return to this secular conclusion.

Foreign outflows pressure Brazilian equities.
Brazilian equities are seeing the third-largest foreign exodus since 2008, with recent three-month outflows from stocks and investment funds and a weak August. Ulrich highlights that the Ibovespa remains far from 200,000 points and the foreign debandada may not be over.

Diesel and oil face supply-driven upside.
Diesel is near its historical high and diesel crack spreads hit an all-time high due to Ukrainian attacks on Russian refineries, Middle East refinery disruptions and threats to flows through the Strait of Hormuz. Russia is also restricting diesel exports, forcing Brazil to shift imports back toward the US and creating global supply tightness and potential fuel shortage risk.

US long bond yields likely stay elevated.
The US Treasury's intervention to buy long-term debt and issue short-term debt is only a palliative and does not address the fiscal deficit. Ulrich notes the 10-year yield has already moved back above 4.74% and the 30-year is retesting 5.30%, undoing the announcement effect. Without a credible structural fiscal adjustment, long-term Treasury yields are unlikely to fall and the debt profile worsens.

Moderna mRNA cancer vaccine data is positive.
Moderna and Merck reported mRNA cancer vaccine results showing more than double the success in preventing recurrence or spread in high-risk melanoma, validating years of mRNA-based cancer research. The stock nearly tripled intraday and remains more than double, signaling a potentially new treatment approach.

Brazilian Bitcoin ETF and stock both favored.
In viewer Q&A, Ulrich affirmed both DIGY11 and ABTC3. He describes DIGY11 as Orange BTC's new B3 ETF that replicates Strategy/MicroStrategy exposure, giving Brazilian investors a Bitcoin-related vehicle, consistent with his bullish Bitcoin view.
