Not sure any of those will protect you. US equities should perform ok — IMO they’re already inflated because that’s where most of the “extra” money supply is sitting on the sidelines. Commodities futures (namely food) are probably your best play.
This has happened before — 90s Japan is what the US has in store for the 20s. The same collection of factors (high valuations after decades of rapid growth, a declining birth rate and an aging population) are present in the US. The main difference being there is no “safe haven” currency; the US is still a superpower and a declining US economy will hurt the global economy and set the stage for China to take over as the sole global superpower.
