People familiar with the matter did not disclose which stocks or sectors Royal Group is shorting.
The report also stated that Royal Group, which manages one of the world's largest family fortunes, will increase its exposure to the US when the situation in the US improves and the FED signals to cut interest rates.

How is Bitcoin Price Affected?
Bitcoin price is generally correlated with US stock markets. However, recently, the BTC price reacted positively to the crisis in the banking sector in the USA and rose after the news of the collapse of the banks.
When everything is evaluated as a whole, it is not clear at the moment whether a wider recession in the US stock market will have an effect on the Bitcoin price, as such a situation has not been encountered before.
Bitcoin, which has a market value of $ 545 billion, continues to be traded at $ 28,194 at the time of writing.
