The 30-year Treasury yield has spiked to 5.63%, a 24-year high, driven by a $6 billion long-bond buyback program that is absorbing liquidity. This move has decoupled yields from the cooler PCE inflation data, signaling a structural shift in bond market dynamics. The surge in long-end rates is pressuring growth valuations and challenging gold's traditional role as an inflation hedge, as real yields rise sharply.
