The Bond Bloodbath Spreads

10-Year U.S. Treasury Yield

The factors driving yields higher are extremely bullish for gold, silver and every metal and commodity.
 

While the trading algos in charge of pricing assets on a daily basis care about nothing outside of central bank policy, these drivers guarantee much higher prices for commodities over the long term.

Another day, another step higher in bond yields.

And I’m not talking about just U.S. Treasurys — the rise in bond yields has not only been relentless, but also boundless. Yields have been climbing for virtually every sovereign bond around the globe.
 

The pundits will tell you that investors are scared of the inflationary pressures built up from higher energy prices and the AI spending boom. And yes, that has something to do with what we’re seeing right now in the markets.

But the primary driving force behind falling bond values is best described not by “inflation” but “depreciation.”

And the factors that demand an accelerated depreciation in currencies are as old as human nature and as unavoidable.

Could Emperor Metals Become a Multi-Million-Ounce Gold Story? 

“If they can get it to 3 million ounces… this thing is going to be worth a lot of money.” 
 

That’s the view shared by InvestorTV host Don Durrett following a recent interview with Emperor Metals (CSE: AUOZ | OTCQB: EMAUF) CEO John Florek.  
 

Emperor’s flagship Duquesne West Gold Project in Québec’s prolific Abitibi Greenstone Belt currently hosts an Inferred Mineral Resource of 1.46 million ounces of gold, with ongoing drilling targeting significant resource growth. Recent results include 15m @ 61.5 g/t Au, and 24.1 m @ 2.6 g/t Au, including 7.1 m @ 7.5 g/t Au, with further assays still to come. 
 

The Company is targeting an updated mineral resource in Q1–Q2 2027, followed by a PEA in 2027, providing two major catalysts as Emperor advances its vision for a potential open-pit development. 

Emperor is also advancing its Lac Pelletier Gold Project toward production, adding a second Québec gold asset with near-term development potential.

“Nothing Stops This Train”

My friend (and New Orleans Conference alum) Lyn Alden is famous for, among many other things, popularizing the quote above.
 

Lyn's referencing the inevitable debt spiral that’s in play at the moment, after decades of ever-easier money and ever-greater debt accumulation.

This process is inevitable and irreversible, as thousands of years of human history clearly show.

Every civilization has eventually overspent its means and ended its currency through depreciation to vaporize those debts. And thus, every currency has eventually been depreciated to zero.
 

My friend Frank Giustra (who’s speaking this year in New Orleans) recently posted that governments will choose to massively print currency to address today’s unmanageable debt burdens.
 

My reply was that this wasn’t necessarily a choice: “...To be fair to those before us, that path wasn’t so much chosen as forced. In other words, once you get to this point…there is no choice.”
 

In other words, the destruction of fiat currencies isn’t a policy, but rather an unavoidable outcome.
 

And on a day when gold and silver are being driven lower by short-term algo traders focused on central bank policy decisions and month-end expiries of futures contracts, we need to remember that the train driving currencies lower and metals higher over the long term will not be stopped.

As I also posted this morning:

As I was talking to so many of my friends and colleagues at the elite Beaver Creek mining conference last week, I sensed no panic — and not even the slightest concern — over the bond-market turmoil that even Bloomberg had dubbed a “bloodbath.”
 

Even though metals prices were slipping along with bond prices, reversing the trend of recent weeks, these investors continued to have confidence in the longer-term drivers I’ve described above.
 

In fact, this downturn has made a mining stock market that was already flush with opportunities even more attractive.

I can tell you that there are more — and richer — opportunities right now than I’ve ever seen in my long career in this industry.

The best news is that we’re going to explore and spotlight the best of these in just a few weeks, at this year’s New Orleans Investment Conference.
 

Again, time is short. Not only is our room block about to sell out, but our registration fees are about to rise very significantly in the days ahead.
 

Right now, you can still save $400 by registering. But that discount will vanish soon.

We’re gathering a roster of experts that is indisputably the best you’ll find anywhere...and the timing is absolutely perfect.
