All I can think of is the low participation in direct bidding on the last two Treasury auctions. Very strange stuff. I’m wondering what that standing repo facility is looking like after today.

If Japan as a state actor actually weaponized the 10 year last night, then I think the only fair thing to say is that he caved to that move.
21st century version of Pearl Harbor.
I'd guess Japan may have a bit of advantage in negotiations as we'll need them to purchase new debt.

Volume of that magnitude came from more than a small hedge fund.

You'd have to be pretty blind to believe a major shift was just 100% coincidentally on the heels of a bond market bloodbath.

A large hedge fund had the strategy of doing a highly leveraged relative value trade which caused them to be very long US Treasuries.

Could someone dumb it down even more for me?

Sounds like strategy from the movie "Margin Call." Great meeting scene.
