DW NOTE
The US federal government spent $1.4 trillion more than it collected through June — 3% worse than last year's pace — while the 10-year Treasury yield sits at 4.77%. Gold is down 15.8% from its January peak of $5,318. If gold were the hedge against sovereign profligacy that crypto exchanges like to claim in their blog copy, it would be making new highs, not giving back a third of the year's gains while the deficit accelerates.
