Hansen, head of commodity strategy at Saxobank, said that bonds reflected demand for “greater compensation for holding longer-dated debt amid war-driven energy inflation and mounting concerns over widening budget deficits.” “This development has sent gold below USD 4,500 support, highlighting the current market reaction function driven by oil, inflation expectations, bond yields, and central bank rate expectations,” he wrote in a reaction on X.
