As debates rage in the US over the future trajectory of the economy and markets, the continuing rise in the budget deficit remains a major source of concern. It is precisely this worrying trajectory of public debt that gold seems to continue to follow closely, helping to explain its current surge.

While Spain, Portugal and Italy are pulling out of their massive public deficits — Italy's public deficit has been cut from 8% of GDP in 2022 to 3.4% in 2024 — France continues to sink and is now Europe's sick man.

This week, we'll look at a few charts of GSR to see if we can uncover some clues of our own.

Donald Trump's recent change of tone on tariffs, like his unexpected softening towards Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell, highlights an often overlooked reality: the real balance of power isn't played out on the political stage, but in the workings of the US debt market.

U.S. Treasuries, supposed to be the ultimate refuge in times of crisis, appear to have been swept away by the market swell, while gold remains afloat.
