Treasury Yields Are Tumbling
After 3 days of carnage and a day of stability, it appears the death of the bond bull market has once again been greatly exagerated. Whether it is China's absence after a strengthenig in the Yuan overnight or month-end rebalancing amid equity vol, Treasury yields are notably lower this morning...
but remain significantly higher on the week for now...

Fed sphincter buys what?
recent ust volatility hasn't puckered my bunghole
Does this look puckered to you?
Where did you get that...?
Can anyone get one?
I was wondering too.
China bond sell-off showing its ugly head
but but but china is selling treasuries!! Alarm! Alarm! How can this be?!?!?
There's a big demand around the world for high quality collateral. LOL
Hey, it wasn't long ago ZH was warning that Treasury markets were made too thin by all the QE. Now maybe they're filling in the thin spots. Kind of like that spray-on "hair in a can" they used to sell on TV.
Am I missing something? When bond yields fall that's a sign that bonds are in greater demand?
German bonds have negative yields meaning that investors pay Germany for the privilege of buying their bond.
No, you're not missing anything. You're exactly right.
If you pull up the chart on $USB 30 year bond price, it looks like one massive 2015 long H&S to me.
Makes sense if all the former go-go BRICS are selling off their reserves to put out fires at home. Fed already has a de-facto rate hike, especially when you "add in" $10 Trillion of USD based in-country (but US off-shore) debt and a stronger dollar as one helleva dollar short squeeze.
Emerging markets are Squirming markets now.
The Fed will buy any and all US debt. Anyone who shorts these things is an idiot
This will be a strange new market - the dollar will ultimately collapse and govt bonds will yield zero
And TBTF Came out 2 months back and said there would be buyers.
Plus Japan, Luxembourg, Switzerland, United Kingdom seems to be buyers.
What is going on in Luxembourg?
Anyone know?
