Real U.S. 5-Year Bond Yields based on Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities (TIPS) settled yesterday at a new 85-month low of -0.87%. Over the last 15 weeks, real 5-year yields have declined by an unprecedented 150 basis points, which is their largest ever 15 week decline from positive into negative territory.
In 2011 when real 5-year yields declined by 130 basis points in 27 weeks from 0.51% down to -0.79%, gold gained by 38.4% during this same time period to reach its all-time nominal high settlement price of $1,888.70 per oz!
With real 5-year yields now 8 basis points below their level from August 22, 2011 when gold reached $1,888.70 per oz, gold could be only days away from reaching new all-time nominal highs! Yesterday, gold gained by $19.30 or 1.08% to settle at $1,800.70 per oz.
Making an even larger gain yesterday was copper, which surpassed its key breakout point of $2.70 per lb in a very convincing manner. Copper settled yesterday up by $0.0425 or 1.58% to $2.7268 per lb. Early this morning in overseas trading, copper traded as high as $2.754 per lb!
