Treasury's long-end buyback bump reads gold bullish, dollar bearish

By rummy ·

Starting Sept 9, Treasury's ramping up liquidity-support buybacks on 10-20Y and 20-30Y bonds well past the old $2B cap, effectively suppressing long-end yields artificially. Market's cheering the relief now, but the read is this is Yellen-style short-term patching, not a fix, and it chips away at the dollar's safe-haven status over time. If that thesis holds, money keeps rotating into hard assets, so $GLD and the miners stay the trade on any dollar weakness. Not calling the top or bottom here, just watching which way the flows lean into September.
