Van Straten also indicates that other factors, such as inflation, may not fully explain the current trend in rising bond yields worldwide.

Van Straten has previously argued that Western governments are increasingly losing their grip on long-term bond markets, warning of the possibility of further interventions ahead (read more). In a separate note, he observed Bitcoin trading above its 50-week moving average following a weaker period in 2022 (details). These observations reflect his ongoing focus on shifts in both traditional and digital asset markets.
