U.S. stocks slip as 30-year Treasury yield rises above 5.30%

U.S. equities moved lower on Sept. 9, while Treasury yields pushed higher, according to market data from BIT (bit.com). The 10-year U.S. Treasury yield climbed above 4.85%, and the 30-year yield rose past 5.30%. At the same time, the U.S. dollar index moved sharply higher and spot gold fell sharply. On the policy side, the U.S. Treasury said it will buy back up to $6 billion of long-dated bonds on Thursday. Earlier, the department had said that before Nov. 4, the size of each long-bond buyback operation would at least double to $4 billion. The market move and the Treasury’s debt operation update were reported together in the latest BlockBeats market brief.

Stronger Yen Lends Near-Term Support to Bitcoin as Carry Trade Risks Build

A stronger Japanese yen is giving Bitcoin and other dollar-priced assets short-term support by pushing the U.S. Dollar Index lower, but the same move is also reviving concerns about yen carry trade unwinds. Data cited in the report showed USD/JPY falling 1.4% intraday to 156.40 after a 0.9% drop on Wednesday. The euro, pound and Australian dollar also edged higher against the U.S. dollar. As a result, the Dollar Index slipped 0.4% to 99.22, moving closer to its 200-day moving average. According to the analysis, a softer dollar usually benefits assets priced in dollars, including Bitcoin and gold, while also easing global financial conditions and lifting risk appetite. The picture can change quickly if yen appreciation becomes too fast. For more than a decade, investors have borrowed cheaply in yen to buy stocks, bonds and cryptocurrencies. A rapid rise in the yen can force those positions to unwind and trigger selling across risk assets. The report noted that when yen carry trades were unwound in August 2024, Bitcoin fell about 20% within a few days. Markets are now increasingly expecting the Bank of Japan to raise rates to 1.25% from 1% on Sept. 18. The report also said U.S. and Japanese officials had previously acted to address what it described as “disorderly yen moves.”

Yen Surge Pressures Dollar, Bitcoin and Gold Rise in Sync

The yen strengthened sharply against the dollar, pushing USD/JPY down 1.4% to 156.4 and extending Wednesday's 0.9% decline. The dollar index fell 0.4% to 99.22, testing its 200-day moving average. Bitcoin and gold rallied alongside, defying the traditional view that yen strength triggers risk-off selling. Analysts note that yen strength weighs on the dollar index, supporting dollar-denominated assets and easing global financial conditions. However, if yen gains accelerate, the dynamic could reverse, potentially triggering unwinding of carry trades. In August 2024, a similar yen carry trade unwind saw Bitcoin drop about 20% in days. Traders are now pricing in a 25-basis-point rate hike by the Bank of Japan on September 18, and U.S.-Japan authorities have reportedly intervened to support the yen, leaving little resistance for further yen strength.

Bitcoin Ownership Now Tops Gold in the U.S., but That Does Not Settle the Debate

Bitcoin ownership among U.S. adults has moved ahead of gold, according to River Financial’s July research, but the shift does not mean bitcoin has matched gold in value or institutional standing. The report says 49.6 million American adults, or 18.6% of the population, now hold BTC, compared with 28.8 million gold holders, or 10.8%. That gap of nearly 21 million people points to a broader change in retail participation, while U.S. investors also account for about 42% of global bitcoin supply. American listed companies hold roughly 1.24 million BTC, equal to 92.7% of bitcoin held by public companies worldwide, and the U.S. government holds 328,372 BTC, mostly obtained through asset seizures, valued at more than $26 billion at CoinGecko prices. The piece also ties bitcoin’s positioning to a macro event on Aug. 19, when the U.S. Treasury said it would double liquidity-support buybacks for long-dated government bonds, raising the cap per operation from $2 billion to at least $4 billion for the period from Sept. 9 to Nov. 4. After the announcement, the U.S. dollar index fell about 0.9% to its lowest level since May 29, while gold rose about 2% to roughly $4,480 an ounce. The article argues that bitcoin and gold responded in tandem because both are viewed as alternatives to the dollar. Even so, it concludes that higher ownership alone is not the same as closing the value gap with gold, whose market capitalization remains much larger.

Copper closes at a record as bitcoin rises alongside gold and silver

Comex copper futures settled at $6.71 per pound on Tuesday, marking the highest closing price on record for the metal. Techub, citing BeInCrypto, said a debasement trade is lifting both metals and crypto as investors shift toward scarce assets on concerns that U.S. debt management could weaken the dollar. Gold, silver and bitcoin all moved higher under that backdrop. Last week, the U.S. Treasury raised its maximum bond buyback size from $2 billion to at least $4 billion, a step the market read as a form of stealth easing that added pressure to the dollar. The dollar index is now near a three-month low, while gold is trading around $4,666 per ounce and posting its best monthly performance since 1999. Bitcoin tracked the move in metals, trading near $78,900 with a 24-hour gain of about 0.23%, according to BeInCrypto. Earlier on Tuesday, BTC briefly moved above $81,000, its highest level since May. CoinGlass data showed that more than $4 billion in short positions were liquidated during the breakout.
