An 11-page research report on why gold fell in the same week that government bond markets came under strain in Japan, Europe and America. Japan's 30-year yield is at an all-time high, France's bond selloff is spreading, and US Treasury yields are the highest since 2004, against about $40 trillion of American debt with an interest bill past $1.25 trillion a year. The report sets out the three reasons gold fell, none of them a verdict on gold, the plan officials have described in their own words to inflate the debt away, and the historical record of gold falling at the start of a crisis before it reprices, as it did in 1973 and in 2008. Central banks bought 289 tonnes of gold in a single quarter, up 74 per cent on the year.
