While many of us celebrate the stock markets reaching new highs, central banks worldwide are actively purchasing gold, and institutions are hedging into treasuries and yields.
Interest rates are determined by the central banks whereas Yields are determined by the investors.
If you choose to lend or borrow money over a longer period, such as 10 or 30 years, you would typically expect to earn or pay more interest for this extended duration loan contract. However, currently, we are witnessing an inversion of this relationship, known as the inverted yield curve, where borrowers are required to pay higher interest on their short-term loans, such as the 2-year yield we're observing, compared to their longer-term borrowing.

@Chicama, The million dollar question is always 'when will that be?' Stay tuned for the upcoming tutorial. When it happens, we hope to be able to identify it at its beginning stage. The demand for gold and yields are the warning signs. Keep watching.

Fantastic! Thank you. When do you think smart money would ideally shift towards Russell 2000?

@Amirof, I believe they have done so and still doing... Take note Nasdaq, S&P and Dow Jones have broken above their previous high, but Russell is still 20% away from its previous high.

By hedging their yields, institutions can protect themselves against these losses by entering into derivative contracts that pay off when interest rates rise.
This totally deserves the selection for Editors' Picks, congrats! 🙌🏽
