August wrapped with a clean risk-on move: dollar weakened, equities pushed higher, yields climbed, and the anti-fiat trade crushed it.

The setup? Hormuz tensions faded faster than expected, Fed pivot hopes got priced in harder, and macro hawks lost the narrative battle. Dollar weakness = liquidity tailwind for everything else.

Gold, $BTC, and hard assets outperformed fiat. Classic late-cycle behavior when central bank credibility gets questioned and geopolitical risk premiums collapse into complacency.

Watch September. Historically volatile. If dollar bounce comes with reflationary data, this anti-fiat rally could stall fast. But if Fed stays soft and liquidity stays loose? We're just getting started.
