Gold next catalyst may be Washington's bond market playbook
The latest Treasury move is drawing comparisons with one of the most unusual chapters in U.S. financial history. During 1942-1951, Washington kept long-term government bond yields capped at 2.5% to make World War II borrowing more affordable. Today's policy is not a formal yield cap, but the logic looks familiar. Instead of fixing yields outright, the Treasury has doubled its buybacks of 10- to 30-year bonds, trying to ease borrowing costs as federal debt climbs beyond $40 trillion.
