Debasement Narrative Takes Center Stage as Global Bond Market Reaches Crisis Levels

The global bond market is experiencing its worst sell-off since the 2008 financial crisis, pushing Japan's JGB yield to a 30-year high.

Japan's 10-year government bond yield surged to 3% for the first time since 1996 on Tuesday, while the 30-year JGB yield topped a record 4.18%. The 10-year US bond yield also jumped to a new multi-year high and stands at 4.78%.

This has brought the debasement narrative back into focus for Bitcoin and precious metal investors, who closely follow the relationship between government bond yields and inflation expectations.

Crypto commentator Arthur Hayes recommends positioning in Bitcoin (BTC), gold, and other cryptocurrencies, citing the potential use of the Foreign and International Monetary Authorities (FIMA) repo facility by the US Treasury to manage dollar liquidity.
