Gold prices surge above $4,600 amid US Treasury bond buyback plan
Gold prices have surged to multi-month highs, exceeding $4,600 per ounce, driven by a weakening US dollar and significant policy shifts from the US Treasury. The Treasury announced plans to double its buybacks of long-dated government debt, increasing the volume to at least $4 billion per operation to support market liquidity. This intervention has contributed to a decline in US Treasury bond yields and put downward pressure on the US dollar.
In addition to the Treasury's actions, geopolitical tensions, particularly involving the US, Iran, and the Middle East, have bolstered demand for gold as a safe-haven asset. The US national debt has also surpassed the $40 trillion milestone, adding to market concerns regarding long-term fiscal stability. While gold has seen strong momentum, some analysts suggest the market may enter a period of consolidation following these rapid gains. Silver has also seen significant movement, rising toward the $70 per ounce level.
