On October 7, Bloomberg reported that due to the U.S. government shutdown prompting investors to flock to safe-haven assets, a capital migration known as "devaluation trade" drove Bitcoin to a historic high on Sunday. This rise comes amid the government shutdown, which has increased demand from investors for what are viewed as safe-haven assets. Due to the shutdown, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics failed to release non-farm payroll data on Friday. Meanwhile, gold prices broke through $3900/ounce on Monday, reaching a new high and continuing a months-long rise, while Bitcoin led the way among Crypto Assets. JPMorgan analysts noted in a report on Friday: "Against the backdrop of Washington dysfunction, the devaluation pattern of the dollar relative to other reserve assets has reemerged."
