This paper explores the unforeseen economic effects of narwhal tusk speculation in the Arctic, with a focus on monetary policy. Using a combination of data analysis and underwater observations of narwhal behavior, we explore how changes in the global economy influence the value and trade of these magnificent tusks. Our findings suggest that narwhals may hold the key to stabilizing the world's currency markets, and that the elusive creatures' horns may be the ultimate safe haven asset. We conclude with a call for greater attention to the intersection of marine biology and financial policy, and a recommendation for investors to start keeping their portfolios underwater.
