Why is the Fed quietly buying billions in bonds

The U.S. Federal Reserve has quietly purchased $43.6 billion in U.S. Treasurys over four days, signaling a shift toward stealth easing rather than tightening monetary policy. This move has caught the attention of traders and investors, particularly in commodities like gold, which has seen a sharp rise since early 2024. Meanwhile, China has also increased its gold imports, suggesting a global shift away from U.S. Treasurys as a safe-haven asset. Central banks worldwide are preparing for potential shifts in global monetary power, with gold and bitcoin reacting to growing distrust in central banking systems.
