@ethanrkho@obermattj Nonsense. I know several top students at elite institutions who have applied for dozens of internships and barely gotten a call back. If anything the market has gotten even more competitive in recent years.
@spaghettilisbon only took them five years to surpass the never-again-in-our-lifetimes COVID spending spree... anyone else still old enough to remember "German austerity"?
A major feature of private markets is negative convexity. Investors accept the extra yield spread (the liquidity premium) to compensate for this, and should manage their book accordingly.

Are we at the point yet where the Fed tries to use moral suasion to stabilize bond markets in front of an auction? Or will they wait and see how it goes first? Either way, all eyes will be fixated on the bond screens at 1pm today and tomorrow.
Bond market participants appear to recognize this new reality. They see a Treasury Sec talking about balancing the budget and are lifting offers as they revise lower their growth and supply forecasts. I don't want to fade these flows. Also, happy month end to those who celebrate.
A lot of people don't want to admit this but a huge contributor to growth in recent years was fiscal stimulus. It started during covid and never really stopped. But a new reality is starting to sink in, and with it comes a big shift in confidence and expectations. Bulls beware.
