🚨 Major Chaos in the Bond Market! 🚨 The US 30-year Treasury bond yield has skyrocketed by 56 basis points in just three trading days—the biggest spike since January 1982, when yields were at 14%! 📈 This unprecedented surge, as shown in the chart, points to a "Disorderly Liquidation" in the bond market. This is likely due to a forced unwinding of the infamous "basis trade" — a highly leveraged strategy where investors exploit tiny price differences between Treasury futures and cash bonds. But what’s striking is the timing: much of this selling hit the markets around midnight ET. That’s a red flag. It suggests we aren’t dealing with rational human reactions to economic data — this looks like automated risk-management systems hitting the sell button, possibly triggered by margin calls. Adding fuel to the fire, the US recently announced a jaw-dropping 104% tariff on China. In retaliation, China has already sold $50 billion worth of US T-bills.It shows that global players are beginning to weaponize financial markets, not just trade policy. When bond markets — the foundation of the global financial system — start to behave this violently, it’s not something you can ignore. Liquidity stress here often spills over into equities, credit markets, and even currencies. We could be witnessing the early stages of a broader systemic shakeup. Stay sharp. The real storm might just be beginning.
