Any finance people, thoughts here?
> This brings me to what should be the big story of the summer: the meltdown in US treasuries. Here is the biggest market in the world, the bedrock of the global financial system, falling by close to double digits in a month. And perhaps most amazing, this meltdown is occurring on limited news. There have been no Federal Reserve policy changes, no hawkish speeches from Jerome Powell. Basically, long-dated US treasuries just fell -9% on no news.

Never mind.
I haven’t followed china treasuries but my assumption is their rates have held steady while here in the US they’ve tripled from the bottom.
This isn’t a surprise and the bigger question is “if the US is catching a cold” then what happens to the rest of the world?
