Rafi Farber: Gold and Silver Break Out As Treasuries Break Down, Exter’s Pyramid Wobbles
Arcadia Economics: 10-20-2023
As the world teeters on the edge of all out war, gold and Treasuries head in opposite directions.
Gold and silver break out, and the bond market breaks down. Interest rates on the 10Y break 5%, and there appears to be nothing that can stop the relentless climb of yields. Except the Federal Reserve of course, which would have to destroy the dollar in order to arrest the climb.
