The US Treasury Department has announced it will at least double its buybacks of long-dated government bonds starting in September, aiming to lower long-term yields and borrowing costs. This move has sparked debate about bond market intervention and revived concerns about the weakening US dollar and rising debt levels, known as the USD debasement trade. As a result, investors are increasingly turning to gold and silver as stores of value, since lower yields reduce the opportunity cost of holding these metals and a weaker dollar makes them more attractive. While the policy is not yet formal yield-curve control, it has improved the outlook for precious metals by limiting downside risks and supporting higher fair-value estimates.
