You can't make this up. The US Treasury just announced it is tripling long-term buybacks to $6 billion and yields STILL rallied on the news. That means the US Treasury went from doubling, to "at least doubling," to tripling long-term bond buybacks and yields are still rising. This puts the 10Y Note Yield above 4.85% for the first time since November 2023, up +15 basis points from pre-announcement levels. The bond market is quite literally fighting the US Treasury as the Iran War continues, with the 10Y Note Yield nearing a +100 basis point move since the war began. Without an end to the Iran War, we are on track to see the 10Y Note Yield above 5.00% by next week. American consumers, homebuyers, and borrowers are in for a rude awakening.

Black Mirror: It's Closer Than You Think One of the most memorable scenes in Black Mirror's “Nosedive” is that Lacie's digital social ranking isn't simply a reflection of how other people see her. It determines what she can access. When her score drops, she finds that it can affect everything from the car she can rent to whether she can get on a flight. The episode raises a very real question about what happens when digital systems become the gateway to everyday life. The more aspects of our lives depend on a single digital infrastructure, the more important it becomes to have alternatives when that system isn't available — or when we don't want to participate in it. That is part of the reason cash matters. Digital payments are convenient, but they shouldn't have to be the only way we can transact. Cash gives people another option that doesn't depend on a digital account, a payment network or a particular technology. We don't need to reject digital payments to recognise the value of keeping cash. The important thing is making sure that convenience doesn't eventually become the removal of choice. Cash is one of the few alternatives we still have, and keeping it available means keeping that choice available. Cash Freedom 2026: https://t.co/UmL3rglSki Subscribe to https://t.co/V2yzRAVIaZ
