This potential black swan in U.S. Treasury bonds is showing some positive signals in the short term.
First, as explained by Professor Frank, the winning yield in the 10-year Treasury auction is lower than the pre-issuance yield.
Here's a basic fact: U.S. Treasuries are issued through auctions. Participants bid by yield; the more participants there are, the less favorable it is for buyers, and the lower the yield.
A winning yield lower than the pre-issuance yield indicates strong buying power in the Treasury auction.
Another point is the price of gold. Both gold and U.S. Treasuries are considered safe-haven assets, so over the long term, their prices move in the same direction, meaning gold prices and Treasury yields move inversely. As shown in the chart.
