❗️The U.S. has started rescuing the bond market
Yesterday, the yield on 30-year U.S. government bonds soared to 5.34% — its highest level since 2007.
And then, unexpectedly, the U.S. Treasury stepped in and announced that it was ready to increase the volume of its bond buybacks — from $2 billion to $4 billion.
And then it added that this might not even be the limit, and the amount could be even higher.
Why does this matter?
It’s pretty simple. When U.S. government bonds are yielding more than 5% with almost no risk, investors naturally start asking themselves: why should I even bother getting into stocks and crypto?
Well, the outcome is obvious.
And now the U.S. is trying to push those yields down: it creates additional demand for bonds → their prices rise → yields fall.
When that happens, money starts looking for higher returns again.
That’s exactly how the market reacted to the news today. As soon as bond yields dropped sharply, gold moved higher, while Bitcoin gained around 4.5% and climbed back above $71,000.
The most interesting part is that the Treasury hasn’t actually carried out those promised buybacks yet. For now, the market has simply heard the promise and has already started pricing it in.
And if those promises do turn into even larger buybacks, it could be a very positive scenario for stocks — and especially for crypto 👀
