The Bond Vigilantes are no longer playing games. 🔥
The 10y10y forward Treasury yield just printed ~5.9%-a 20-year high-in the same week CPI and retail sales both disappointed. The long end has stopped pricing the economy and started pricing the deficit.
Why this decoupling is the signal: • The 10y10y strips out near-term noise. It prices the next decade: supply, term premium, inflation risk.
• 2013's tantrum was a flows shock. This one is a solvency premium-stickier and more political.
• Weak data should have rallied duration. It didn't. The market no longer trusts the Fed as buyer of last resort.
• Exit doors are narrow: austerity (political fiction), monetization (debasement), or a crisis that forces the choice.
Which catalyst breaks the long end first: a failed auction, forced Fed QE, or genuine fiscal consolidation?
Just remember they will do everything in their power to pump this into the election, you should look to buy this here and then put your crash helmet after the election. It is going to be truly end of the world shit after that
So this final run for the tulips is your last chance to get a land gold gun and probably a fucking bunker
@NikLentz@TraderBillyAU what they do is push until they are given push back. the wankers in London love to do what you are seeing right now, and get expectations to ridiculous levels until they are told they're wrong demonstratively
@negligible_cap yeah has nothing to do with them desperately trying to stop a market from crashing, and leaning on the same thematic nonsense that has anchored everything for the last year...
