What say you? I think the bond market might have forced his hand. Did China and Japan team up and sell US Treasury Bonds? China and Japan arse Ho

Trump doing things to increase equities would hurt the bond market. Trump did the opposite of what you should do to prop up the bond market.

So Japan started selling US bonds last night, and Trump folded on the tariffs.


This comment makes no sense.

Let me get this straight. He's a loser because he started tariffs and now he's a loser because he took away tariffs? I'm starting to think this isn't about tariffs at all.

Impressive the logical detours they take to console themselves and hang on to their mantra that DJT must fail.

Bingo. Would you rather have 1% of global toilet paper sales, or 100% of Cadillac sales in your town? The choice is easy for the unretarded.

The FR is going to stabilize the bond market based on their stated Feds Fund rate of 4.33%.

If money is pouring into the bond market shooting up the price and lowering yields below 4.33% like was happening Friday, the FR will step in and sell bonds to lower the price so the 10 year note yield gets closer to 4.33%.

The FR will do the opposite if the price of the 10 year gets too low and the yield above 4.33%.

When countries agree to negotiate a deal, they get a 90 day pause . Over 75 have agreed to negotiate. In those 90 days he will be doing a deal a day . How is that folding?

China has been doing it for past few days.

Maybe Japan started last night, but first i’ve heard of that.


Either way, China already knew. Its been one of the weapons literally everyone knows China had.

I think people get confused with the bond market because of the inverse relationship between bond price and bond yield.

If foreigners start dumping US stocks or bonds or dollars or all three in a concerted fashion, it's all going down and we have lost the ability to control it. That's what happens when you borrow and consume yourself into a hole. We can deal with the pain or just surrender to our foreign creditors.

There was a sell-off in US Treasurys last night. Which was sending the 10 year higher. It is being reported that was what made President Trump fold on the Tariffs. Are you saying that didn't happen or are you saying Trump didn't do a 180 because of it?

I’ve never heard of the guy, but I now have 2 data points for “Schiff” being code for “TDS-Addled Shitferbrains”.

I say Schiff should hope he can demonstrate someone hacked his account.
