DW NOTE
Gold has fallen 24.2% from January's peak of $5,318 to $4,030 while Treasury yields have climbed 6.35% in the past month. The headline frames this as traders weighing rate hike prospects—in July 2026, two years into a cutting cycle, with the 10-year at 4.69% and CPI still at 3.53%. The Fed doesn't hike into asset liquidations; it watches them happen and calls it data-dependence.
