Episode notes
US Treasury Market Dynamics
- The US Treasury market has functioned for 40-50 years under the assumption of rising long-term bond yields.
- This market behavior has never experienced a sustained period where long-term yields rise faster than short-term yields, a phenomenon known as a bear steepener.
Gold's Resilience
- Gold prices remain stable despite rising US Treasury yields, suggesting market doubts about the risk-free status of treasuries.
- This contrasts with historical trends where rising yields would typically draw investors away from gold and into bonds.
Bond Mechanics Analogy
- Tom Bilyeu explains bond mechanics through an analogy: buying a 2% bond for 10 years and its implications if rates rise to 5%.
- Holding the bond to maturity guarantees the principal and interest, but selling early results in a loss due to lower comparative yields.
