Anyone who follows gold on a regular basis would have noticed the current obsession with the US 10 Year bond yield, with each tick higher or lower corresponding with a very strong inverse correlation in the gold price. A lot of media commentary has been around the fact that this trend of rising bond yields could mean the death of gold, and that higher bond yields are seen to be a negative when you factor in the opportunity cost of holding zero yielding gold. But there is something more to the story which we will cover in this week’s update as we attempt to answer the question: can bond yields and gold rise at the same time?
For those without the patience to read this week’s update, the answer is ‘yes’, but it all depends on one thing: inflation. With bonds having been through an almost uninterrupted 40-year bull market, there are few periods of significance where bond yields have risen for an extended time in recent years; however, we will look at these periods and compare how gold performed in retrospect.
The first noticeable period would be during the economic boom pre-GFC where the US 10Y yield rose from a low of 3.2% in 2003 to a high of 5.2% in 2007, whereas gold in USD terms still managed to rise from under $400 per ounce to over $650 in the same time frame.
Gold and Silver News
From Guardian Vaults
Can Gold and Bond Yields Rise in Unison?
We can see that there is no economic law that states bond yields and gold cannot rise at the same time, so perhaps the fear around rising bond yields is misguided. If we wind the clock back further, we can take a look at the best example of a period of significantly higher bond yields and interest rates, and that is the inflationary period of the 1970’s. An incredible period of time from a number of perspectives, and many gold investors would remember the end of the gold standard in August of 1971.
The following three charts show the yield on 10-year Treasuries, the gold price in USD terms, and the inflation rate at the time.
After hitting a low of USD $1760 during Sydney’s trading session on Friday, Gold recovered back above $1800 this week.
