The global sovereign bond market is facing turbulent times, prompting savvy investors to take action. Recently, the global sovereign bond market has been under pressure. The U.S. government has been shut down for over 20 days, resulting in a daily economic loss of up to $15 billion; France's credit rating has been downgraded, with the 10-year government bond yield surpassing that of Greece; and Japan, under new Prime Minister Kobayashi Sanae, plans to substantially increase bond issuance. The sovereign debt of the U.S., Europe, and Japan is dragging each other down, creating a potential "super debt storm." In contrast, gold prices have soared, breaking through the $4,300 mark, with a year-to-date increase of over 60%. This intense risk aversion indicates that investors are extremely cautious about the global market, leading them to increase their holdings in gold to hedge against the risks of declines in the U.S. dollar, U.S. stocks, and U.S. bonds.

01 Risk Accumulation: A "Perfect Storm" in U.S., Europe, and Japan Bond Markets The prolonged shutdown of the U.S. government has become one of the biggest uncertainties in the bond market. The Republican and Democratic parties have failed to reach a consensus on fiscal appropriations, and the longer the government remains closed, the greater the negative impact on the economy. The yield on 30-year U.S. Treasury bonds stands high at 4.5%, and the Federal Reserve's rate cuts provide no support. A renewed European debt crisis is looming. France's political situation is chaotic, with the Prime Minister resigning less than a month into office, heightening the risk of a debt crisis. Currently, the French government's debt amounts to €3.35 trillion, representing 116% of its GDP, making it one of the countries with the highest debt levels in the Eurozone. Even more concerning is that the yield on France's 10-year government bonds has risen to 3.57%, exceeding Greece's equivalent of 3.446%, clearly indicating a lack of investor confidence in French bonds. Similarly, Japan's bond market is experiencing severe sell-offs. The yield on 20-year Japanese government bonds recently hit a peak of 2.73%, the highest since August 1999. With Prime Minister Kobayashi Sanae supporting expansionary fiscal policies, further bond issuance is expected to stimulate the economy, likely exacerbating the downward trend in Japanese bonds.

02 Capital Movement: Risk Aversion Drives Gold Frenzy Amid the high risks in the global bond market, a historic frenzy is occurring in the gold market. Goldman Sachs has raised its gold price forecast for the end of next year from $4,300 to $4,900, bullish on the future price increases. Ken Griffin, founder of the well-known hedge fund Citadel, openly states that investors now view gold assets as safer than the U.S. dollar, a concerning development. Deutsche Bank's report highlights that gold's proportion in global foreign exchange reserves has risen to 30%, while the U.S. dollar's share has dropped from 43% to 40%. If gold were to match the dollar, its price would need to rise to $5,790. The frenzied purchase of gold reflects investors' widespread distrust in mainstream currencies and sovereign debt. This sentiment is spreading globally, impacting the price movements of various assets.

03 Information Tool: First Insight into the Global Bond Market In such a complex and rapidly changing market environment, investors urgently need a tool that provides real-time quotes, in-depth analysis, and a global perspective.
