Soaring Treasury Yields Spark Market Risk as Gold Miners Rally

Treasury yields are soaring, and markets could break if they keep rising at this pace. The MOVE Index measures bond market stress and has surged to 104, threatening to break out of a three-year downtrend, suggesting significant market risk ahead.

Gold prices have bottomed mid-year and are experiencing their first meaningful pullback. Spot gold needs to close above $4,400 in the coming days or weeks to confirm an end to this correction.

Gold miners also bottomed out mid-year and have rallied more than 50% in just over a month. The current pullback may be forming a bull flag, potentially supporting a 25%+ rally into November if a breakout is confirmed.
