Why gold rose despite rising real yields (2022–2026)
The traditional gold-yield model broke down after 2022. Central bank buying (1,000+ tonnes/yr), geopolitical risk premiums from the US-Iran conflict, and US fiscal concerns (debt/GDP 120%+) overwhelmed the yield relationship. Gold has repriced as a strategic reserve asset outside the dollar system.

Reading COT: context and extremes matter most
When managed money net longs are at multi-year highs, the trade is crowded and vulnerable to reversal on any negative catalyst. At extreme lows (or net short), it often marks a bottom. Commercial hedgers who are extremely net short are locking in high prices — confirming their view that spot is elevated. Always compare to the 52-week range of both series, not the absolute number. Note: The Oct–Nov 2025 reporting gap (federal funding lapse) requires null handling in charting code.
