Cos it's all about the debt stupid ...
"Half of the US debt - a staggering $33 trillion - matures over the next 2-3 years so they can't have rates anywhere near where they are right now."
EVERYONE knows this - what you're seeing right now is the music slowing down but it's going to stop and, again, everyone knows this but not before the bankers created Basel III in 2017 to make physical Gold = cash on their balance sheets.
PMs & miners will move when the usual suspects have fully jumped ship and not before but they're bottoming right now IMO.
The US treasury just announced it's going to intervene in the bond market with buybacks of its own debt (with "money" from you-know-who BBBRRR cos it sure as sht ain't coming from plummeting tax receipts) - the US/West is eating itself before our very eyes. The last time they did this was around Y2K, you may recall that as the time when Gordon Brown sold our gold at $300 only to see it 6x within a decade - nice work if you can get an offshore cut of that action ...
There are terrible financial consequences for those who get this wrong over the next 2-3 years - compound interest is undefeated in ending empires throughout all human history.
The 10-year is at 4.5% and climbing, there is, at a bare minimum, another $100T of BBBRRR to come over the next five or so years to reset the debt ponzi via inflation.
Keep stacking.
