Gold Surges on Washington's Debt Crisis and Central Bank Buying Spree

The gold price has surged due to two converging forces: Washington's fiscal crisis and an unprecedented accumulation spree by central banks.

The US Treasury market is witnessing anxiety over American fiscal health, with the national debt exceeding $40 trillion and a projected budget deficit of $2.1 trillion in 2026.

Bond investors are demanding higher yields, with ten-year Treasury yields reaching 4.73 percent and 30-year paper approaching 5.3 percent, territory not seen in nearly two decades.

The Treasury Department has responded by implementing a buyback program for long-dated bonds, which analysts describe as 'soft financial repression' to artificially suppress government borrowing costs.
