America, how dafuq is anybody gonna trust you now?

How can you possibly expect foreign investors to invest in America?

How can you believe nations will forge any kind of partnership with America when they know the rug can be pulled out from beneath them without a moment's notice?

The US Treasury bond market has entered meltdown as China dumps US bonds in what being described as "an incredible aggressive sell off".
It's a Liz Truss moment on steroids. US treasuries have long been regarded as a safe haven in times of market volatility and now they're not. The stock market is falling, the bond market is falling and the dollar is falling. International markets have lost faith in US assets. We're in uncharted territory.

someone¹ is furiously dumping US treasuries (AKA "US debt" AKA "the most secure store of value on earth") on the open market, driving interest rates 🚀🌖 and freaking everyone on fintwit the fuck out (interest rates, which go up in response to selling pressure, don't usually move this fast, especially at this time of day).

Worth mentioning that #ScottBessent said that the goal Trump’s 5D chess move w/#tariffs was to drive the rate on the 10 yr treasuries *down* to make it easier for Americans to afford houses etc. Needles to say, up is the opposite of down.

"I used to think that if there was reincarnation, I wanted to come back as the president or the pope or as a .400 baseball hitter. But now I would like to come back as the bond market so I can scare the shit out of everybody."

¹ maybe China [edit] or a japanese bank that just blew up on a massive treasury position (TBD).

Trump plans to fine migrants $998 a day for failing to leave after deportation order. The Trump administration plans to apply the penalties retroactively for up to five years, which could result in fines of more than $1 million, a senior Trump official said. bocvip.com/824133/trump-plans- #Bonds #business #CurrentTrends #economy #Investment #IPOs #predictions #stocks

Trump: “We’ve had talks with many many countries, over 70. They all want to come in. Our problem is we can’t see that many that fast, but we don’t have to because as you know the tariffs are on and the money is pouring in.” bocvip.com/823852/trump-weve-h #Bonds #business #CurrentTrends #economy #Investment #IPOs #predictions #stocks

Rand Paul: “We have to start from talking about the truth. One of the things they say with Canada is, ‘Oh, there’s a 270% tariffs on dairy products going from the US into Canada.’ Well you know what the real tariffs is? Zero. That’s a big difference between what the truth is.” bocvip.com/823782/rand-paul-we #Bonds #business #CurrentTrends #economy #Investment #IPOs #predictions #stocks
