US Bond Investors Demanding Higher Interest Rates
Holger Zschaepitz: OOPS! Treasury Buyers Get 5% Long Bond for First Time Since 2007. A $25 billion auction of new 30y US Government Bonds was awarded at 5.046% based on the yields that bidders said they were willing to accept, showcasing middling demand. Auction bidders are demanding higher fixed rates as compensation for the risk that inflation will accelerate further, driven by rising energy prices.
KING WORLD NEWS NOTE: US 30-Year Treasury Yields Are Now Above 5% As Bidders Demand Higher Yields Driven By Inflation Expectations
Precious Metals Rattled
Ole Hansen: Precious metals rattled by renewed strength in oil and fuel prices, lifting inflation and rate hike expectations, strengthening the USD while lifting 10-year Treasury yields to a one-year high. With no end in sight to the Middle East conflict, some central banks have reportedly been forced to sell gold to help fund surging energy import costs. Gold now needs to hold above USD 4,500 to avoid renewed focus on the 200-day moving average near $4340. Silver’s recent jump was – as mentioned – momentum and tech driven with capitulation trades emerging below $82.
Silver Outperforming Gold
The Kobeissi Letter: Silver’s outperformance of gold is gaining momentum:
The gold-to-silver ratio is down to 54, the 2nd-lowest since February 2023.
This ratio has fallen -9 points over the last 6 trading days, with silver outperforming gold for 6 consecutive sessions, the longest streak since December 2025.
KING WORLD NEWS NOTE: Gold/Silver Ratio Has Plunged Near Lowest Level In More Than 3 Years
Over this period, silver prices have surged +20%, to $87 per ounce, the highest since March 11th, while gold prices have increased just +3%, to $4,690 per ounce.
The ratio is now down -51 points, or -49%, since the April 2025 peak of 105 points.
By comparison, the ratio briefly touched 43 points, the lowest level in 15 years, in January 2026, after silver prices surpassed $120 per ounce for the first time in history.
