As evidenced yesterday with the 10-year bumping up to 1.55%, Gold tracked it upwards and then some @ +2% ...
We're already in a risk-off period and I expect that to continue and intensify, ups and downs aside, for quite some time, possibly years, not months.
Yields may continue to rise but then the US is closer to default than ever (interest payments, not debt ceiling) so I expect the FED to implement YCC - if they haven't already - to keep those numbers as suppressed as possible - official NIRP in 2022 is clearly possible even though real yields are already massively negative when taking the real-world inflation of c10% into account.
September's jobs numbers are expected to be awful with hundreds of thousands, maybe even a million, of jobs gone - a possible petrol on the fire scenario when HUM drop what we all hope will be a good Q2 production update with a lowered AISC around the same time in October.
