US Treasury yields this week shot up after news that the US might default for the first time was announced by Janet Yellen, the US secretary of the Treasury. As a consequence, the US Dollar index also gained much strength this week and caused disruptions in both the stock market and the commodities.

The dollar-denominated precious metals suffered this week as investors are pulling their money from higher return investments into bonds thanks to new low prices. Chances of a default are possible although some analysts believe that the US Congress will raise the debt ceiling to prevent that from happening.

Following this, the US Fed will likely start tapering its pandemic era stimulus very soon as inflation starts to reach sustained high levels and the US debt continues to pile on.
