The 10-year USA bond yield has fallen to 2.26% because of geopolitical reasons in Syria & NK.
A low bond yield is bad for the economy because it will denote that the economy is not growing and fixed-income investments will have very lousy rates of returns because the returns are eroded by inflations.
Gold is also affected by geopolitical reasons.

Can you imagine an inflation of 2% and 10-year bond yield at 2% too? This would mean that fixed-income return would be negative after costs. When fixed-income investments are losing money, consumer spendings will be greatly affected and a vicious cycle will develop that will cause recession.
