Longterm (20y) Treasury Bond Yields going up

I think it's just uncertainty. Inflation is proving to be sticky and there is no clarity or end in sight with the tariff situation.

We are on an inflationary cycle for the next 40 years. It's the only way to manage the national debt. Interest rates essentially rose from 1940 to 1980 in one cycle. Then, fell from 1980 to 2020 on that 40 year cycle. Now, we are in a cycle where interests rates will rise. Rates reached 14% in 1981. Expect interest rates on only rise this cycle.

What the Fed has done has been because of what Congress has done. Without Congress creating hundreds of billions per year (and now over a trillion and a half per year) in deficit spending, the Fed wouldn't be having to buy anything. "Deficit spending" is just another term for "debt creation".

Hence why should have purchased gold like us crazies recommend after the Covid money printer went BRRR.

The bond market needs buyers although would best if not the Fed. Foreign holders selling are likely pressuring prices raising yields. The international trade situation needs addressing but retaliation comes in many forms.
