What we don't know
Open questions are tracked here until evidence answers them. The Truism never fills a gap with an assumption.
- Whether the rally in gold and bitcoin will be sustained over the coming weeks.
- What action specifically constituted the bond-market intervention, and when did it occur?
- What were the percentage and absolute moves in bitcoin, gold and the dollar, and over what time windows?
- Is there independent evidence that the intervention or resulting dollar pressure caused the asset rally, rather than merely preceding it?
- Which Treasury maturities and dollar benchmark are referenced?
- What exactly was measured in the ETF-flow and crypto-short claims?
- The supplied material gives publisher names but no article details, quotations or underlying data, so source verification requires human review.
