1. Bonds Are Screaming Risk
Treasury yields go up when bond prices go down. This means investors are selling U.S. government debt, not buying it. That’s not normal during global turmoil. It suggests:
• Foreign buyers are backing away, especially after Trump’s escalating tariff war.
• There’s liquidity stress, and investors are being forced to sell the safest asset to cover margin elsewhere.
• Or the market fears higher inflation, geopolitical instability, or default risk down the line.

The 10-year yield anchors the entire global system:
• Mortgage rates
• Corporate debt
• Derivative pricing
• Repo and collateral liquidity
• Bank solvency models

• BoE is injecting billions via repos
• Russia and China are actively trying to exit the USD system

When the world doesn’t want your bonds, your empire is aging.
When the world wants your bonds but at 5%+ yield, your system is fragile.
When even you can’t afford your own debt at these rates, your game is almost over.
