Stocks have been in full liquidation mode for a week. The same goes for oil. Now, BONDS are getting dumped, too. That helped drive the yield on the 10-year Treasury to 4.51% overnight – up 60 basis points from 3.9% as recently as Monday morning.

Lundin highlights central bank buying, de-dollarization efforts, and potential U.S. investor participation as gold prices rise. He predicts silver outperforming gold and recommends junior mining stocks. Ayales focuses on the shift to an inflationary environment, global fragmentation, and increased gold holdings as a reserve asset.
