🔥Gold and silver are moving almost perfectly in line with Japanese government bond yields:

Japan's 10-year government bond yield has risen roughly 1.5 percentage points since the beginning of 2023, reaching 1.98%, the highest level since the 1990s. During this same period, gold and silver prices have skyrocketed by 135% and 175%, respectively. Are precious metals being used as a primary hedge against the rising cost of government debt?
