When foreign governments choose gold over Treasuries, it means they no longer trust Washington to protect the value of their reserves. This is the clearest sign yet that the post–World War II financial order is cracking. If demand for U.S. debt keeps falling, interest rates will spike, deficits will explode, and the dollar’s role as the world’s reserve currency will be on borrowed time.
As many of us have noted for a while, the replacement for the USD as the world's reserve currency was never going to be another country's currency– it was always going to be gold. https://t.co/KfGLg7fVzj

Let’s start with the big picture. The U.S. government spends more money than it collects in taxes.
That gap is called the deficit. To cover it, the government borrows.
It borrows by selling IOUs called Treasuries.

There are three main flavors of Treasuries.
• Bills: Short-term. Mature in less than 1 year.
• Notes: Medium-term. Mature in 2–10 years.
• Bonds: Long-term. Mature in 20–30 years.Think of them as short, medium, and long loans.
