It's official.
As the bond market "meltdown" accelerates, the average interest rate on a 30Y mortgage in the US is up to 7.45%.
That's up +150 basis points in 6 months and the highest since 2023, when inflation was at 6.4%+.
What is happening? Let us explain.

What the government is doing now is the equivalent of holding a 30-year mortgage at a 3% interest rate and refinancing it into a 4% one-year adjustable-rate mortgage.
In other words, you are replacing longer-term, lower-cost debt with shorter-term, higher-cost debt.
Now apply that to trillions of US dollars.
That is effectively what the US Treasury is being forced to do as long-term yields surge.
Unfortunately, the Treasury is largely playing the hand it has been dealt.
The next phase of the US deficit spending crisis began today.
What just happened?
At 1:00 PM ET, the S&P 500 fell nearly -80 points in 30 minutes without any major "news."
What actually happened was a weak 20Y Bond Auction which sent US Treasury Yields soaring.
Investors MUST watch yields here. Let us explain.

There is a missing joke somewhere with the phrase "kiss the ring" considering the person they are pandering is an absolute sphincter. Something to think about the next time you read another CEO donating money to the inauguration.
