Gold is moving again.

Spot gold pushed above $4,600/oz, reaching its highest level in more than three months as Treasury yields weakened and concerns around U.S. debt and the dollar returned to centre stage.

The interesting part isn't just the price.

🇺🇸 Treasury has expanded its long-term bond buyback program 📉 Long-term yields initially dropped 💵 The dollar came under pressure 🥇 Gold and gold miners rallied ₿ Bitcoin also responded strongly

Ray Dalio has been warning that rising sovereign debt and currency devaluation could become a major problem — and has argued that roughly 10–15% gold exposure can make sense as a portfolio diversifier.

But there's another side.

Gold is still recovering from its January record rather than breaking into completely new territory, and a hawkish Fed or hotter inflation data could push real yields higher and pressure gold.

So how are you playing it?

🥇 Gold / GLD as a core portfolio hedge ⛏️ GDX for leveraged exposure to miners 🏢 Individual miners such as Newmont 📉 Or staying out after the recent run?

Would you actually put 10–15% of your portfolio into gold?

Gold Hits Three-Month High — Is Dalio's 15% Allocation Call Right?
Gold is turning the debasement thesis into price. Spot gold +0.87% to $4,647, its highest since mid-May. U.S. proxies led Friday: GLD +1.95%, GDX +2.98%, Newmont +3.09%; Zhaojin Mining +2.98% in Hong Kong today. After the Treasury's buyback expansion, yields and the dollar fell — the market pricing fiscal sustainability, not rate direction. Dalio warns of a debt crisis within years, advising 10–15% in gold. Against it: January's $5,608 record makes this a recovery, not a breakout, and hawkish Warsh or a hot July PCE lifts real rates. GLD, GDX and Newmont, or gold as a core weight per Dalio?
