Bond yields up and gold up?
This looks like a classic 1970s action, with the inverse relationship between gold and 10-year Treasury yields starting to decouple. Gold is at all-time highs in the face of bond market weakness. This, coupled with the rise in commodity prices (especially oil / gasoline), could mean troubles for the Fed and the banks. Source: Bloomberg, Lawrence McDonald
Gold's role as a neutral asset with millennia of history as money is experiencing a resurgence relative to US Treasuries for global central bank reserve accumulations.

Why are gold and digital gold (aka bitcoin) rallying?
Sometimes one chart is worth a thousand words... As explained by Tavi Costa, If easing monetary conditions with inflation re-accelerating is the next move, then this is probably the most compelling setup to own hard assets (and storer of values) that we've ever seen.

This table explains why markets were soooo... happy yesterday.
As shown by Charlie Bilello: as compared to their December forecasts, the Fed is expecting higher Real GDP growth (2.1% vs. 1.4%), lower Unemployment (4.0% vs. 4.1%), & higher Core PCE Inflation (2.6% vs. 2.4%) but is still anticipating 3 rate CUTS this year. This uber-dovish and bullish for risk assets and gold...
Look at this base on silver... could it follow the steps of gold ?
