Treasury Yields Fall to 2025 Lows on Middle East War Fears

Published: 02-05-2025, 04:35 pm | Updated: 02-06-2025, 04:54 pm

Treasury yields dropped significantly on Wednesday, with 10- and 30-year rates hitting their lowest levels of 2025, driven by heightened Middle East tensions following President Trump’s comments about taking ownership of Gaza.

The flight-to-safety trade pushed the 10-year yield down 6.2 basis points to 4.449% and the 30-year yield down 7.5 basis points to 4.672%, marking their lowest points since December.

This bond market movement occurred against a backdrop of mixed economic signals, including stronger-than-expected ADP employment data showing 183,000 new jobs in January and a concerning jump in the U.S. trade deficit to $98.4 billion in December, its second-highest level ever.

Adding to the market context, Richmond Fed President Tom Barkin’s comments suggested rate hikes would only come with economic overheating, while the Treasury Department announced plans to maintain current auction sizes, providing some stability amid the geopolitical uncertainty.

Factory Costs Hit 82.1. That Number Is Now Working for Your Gold.

The ISM Manufacturing Prices-Paid Index hit 82.1 in May — the second-highest reading since 2022 and the 20th consecutive month of rising factory costs. Most headlines covered the manufacturing boom. Almost nobody explained what the prices-paid number means for the Fed, for inflation this summer, and for the structural case for holding gold.

Silver Has Two Engines. Stagflation Is the One Condition That Fires Both at Once.

Most assets have a simple relationship with stagflation. Silver doesn’t. It answers to two entirely separate demand pools — industrial and monetary — that in most macro environments pull against each other. Stagflation is the rare condition where both pull in the same direction at once. Here’s why that matters for investors holding physical silver today.

Samantha is wonderful. I was nervous about spending a chunk of money. I asked her to `hold my hand’ and walk me through making my purchase.  
She laughed and guided me through, step by step. She was so helpful in explaining everything...

Travis was amazing! I was having difficulty with a wire transfer of my life’s savings, and I was very worried that I might not be able to receive it all. My husband just passed away and I’ve been worried about these funds along with grieving for 8 months. As soon as I got connected with Travis, my concerns were immediately addressed and he put me at ease. The issue was resolved within days. He even called me back with updates to keep me in the loop about what was going on with the funds. I am so grateful for a customer representative like Travis. He really cares for his clients.

Sam was also very helpful! I called and was connected to Sam within 30 seconds. She helped me with a fee that was charged to my account. She had a great attitude and took care of the fee quickly.

    Outstanding quality and customer service. I first discovered Mike Maloney through his “Secrets of Money” video series. It was an excellent precious metals education. I was a financial advisor and it really helped me learn more about wealth protection. I used this knowledge to help protect my clients retirements. I purchase my precious metals through goldsilver.com. It is easy, fast and convenient. I also invested my IRA’s and utilize their excellent storage options. Bottom line, Mike and his team have earned my trust. I continue to invest in wealth protection and my own education. I give back and help others see the opportunities to invest in precious metals. Thank you.
