Inversion
A deeply inverted yield curve usually signals recession risk. Gold often performs in the months following sustained inversion as policy easing expectations build.

Yield Curve and Gold
Yield curve shape carries information about growth, inflation, and policy expectations that flows through to gold pricing.
Bull steepening
When the curve steepens because short-end yields fall faster than long-end, that typically reflects rate-cut pricing. Bull steepening regimes have historically supported gold.
Bear steepening
When the long end rises faster than the short end, often on inflation or term-premium concerns, gold reaction depends on whether real yields rise alongside.
