Watch The Bond Market [View all]

Treasury yields soared today on 10 year bonds. Bond rates jumped to 4.3% which hasn't been seen recently.

Don't believe the talk that Krasnov getting the Fed to lower interest rates will lower mortgage rates, they aren't that connected, but when Bonds start to rise so will mortgage rates.

The stock market rose today because it looks like the Supreme Court is going to allow Lisa Cook to stay on the Fed.

Krasnov wants to crash the dollar that's why he wants interest rates at zero.

From Investopedia -

Key Takeaways
The 10-year U.S. Treasury yield climbed to its highest level in months as renewed trade tensions and policy uncertainty rattled global bond markets.
Higher yields reflect investor concerns about inflation, rising deficits, and the risk that tariffs could reignite broader economic instability.
As borrowing costs rise, households and businesses may face more expensive mortgages, loans, and investment financing.
The bond market, which has made President Donald Trump rethink policy before, is protesting again and sending borrowing costs higher.

Krasnov doesn't give a shit about the economy, he wants to crash the dollar.
