A feature in the world market place recently, and which has become more pronounced this week, has been many bond markets worldwide selling off sharply, including U.S. Treasuries. European and Japanese bond markets are under selling pressure.

The bond market sell-off has spilled over into weakness in world stock markets. The world bond market jitters are providing some increased demand for safe-haven gold. Rising bond yields also hint of price inflation, which is also bullish for hard assets like the metals.
