Ruffer LLP is making its biggest-ever bet on cash as shrinking US liquidity boosts the possibility of a violent market reversal.
Two-thirds of the roughly £22 billion ($27.6 billion) that the UK-based firm oversees now sits in cash, a record allocation, according to fund manager Matt Smith.
The income from that stash is being funneled into insurance policies in the form of credit default swaps and US stock options that will profit in the event of a big decline for Wall Street.

Bond investors who were in the habit of treating every tick higher in Treasury yields as a buying opportunity are having second thoughts.
A sale of 30-year bonds garnered lackluster demand Thursday despite offering one of the highest auction yields of the past decade.
While the results were far better than for Wednesday’s 10-year note auction, they suggest investors are chastened by the past week’s punishing selloff.

Exports shrank 7.5% in dollar terms in March from a year earlier, while imports fell 1.9%, the customs administration said Friday. Both numbers came in well below economist forecasts. The trade surplus for the month was almost $59 bi

Gold jumped to another record as the safe haven asset was boosted by simmering Middle East tensions.
Bullion climbed as much as 1.2% to $2,400.67, while silver traded at the highest since February 2021.

MSCI Inc.’s FX gauge for developing economies fell 0.2% in a third day of declines as investors sought havens such as gold and the dollar.
The Hungarian forint and Israeli shekel were the worst performers.

GOLD prices climbed on Friday to hit a historic peak as central bank purchases amid geopolitical tensions sustained the momentum for the yellow metal, while strong U.S. economic data failed to dampen bullion's allure.
Spot gold was up 0.5% at $2,384.34 (RM11,372.46) per ounce, as of 0345 GMT. Bullion hit a record high $2,395.29 (RM11,424.69) earlier in the session. U.S. gold futures gained 1.2% to $2,401.80 (RM11,455.38).
“One thing that is definitely fulfilling this gold buy from central banks are the wars happening around the globe, if we look through the history this always happened as gold is a safe haven,“ ACY Securities analyst Luca Santos said.
Despite recent hot inflation data and a strong U.S. jobs report last week stirring more questions on the feasibility of rate cuts this year, bullion is poised for a fourth straight weekly rise and has gained over 15% so far for the year.
