US Treasury Intervention Could Revive Silver Prices Amid Bond Market Debacle

The silver price (XAG/USD) dipped below $68.50 on Tuesday, extending its losses for the second consecutive day. However, market analysts believe that the US government's intervention in the bond market could revive the debasement trade and boost silver prices.

The US Treasury announced plans to double its buyback operations for longer-dated bonds, which could alter market liquidity and Treasury yields. Secretary Bessent may utilize up to $1 trillion from the Treasury General Account to finance these repurchases.

Market participants speculate that these intervention measures might only offer a temporary solution, as they renew concerns about the risks of an escalating US debt crisis, persistent inflation, and potential dollar weakness.
