Bill’s Commentary:
“Safe haven? For now maybe, shortly, maybe not so much?”
Trump tariffs drove a Treasury sell-off — who sold the safe-haven asset?
The U.S. Treasury market over the past week saw investors fleeing the safe haven, in an unusual move that added to the market turmoil caused by U.S. President Donald Trump’s “reciprocal” tariffs — forcing him to suspend the duties.
In just a few sessions, yield on the 10-year Treasury soared to 4.592% on Friday, the highest since February. Similarly, the 30-year Treasury bond yield notched its highest since November 2023 last Wednesday. While yields have ticked lower since then, they still remain elevated.
Yields rose around 50 basis points in the five days to April 11, according to data from LSEG.

The latest from Erik –


“Thou shall have no other gods before me” has taken on a new meaning for me and that is don’t worship/admire/ adore leaders and media people or anyone you obsess over and feel you must agree with. Make yourself god and think for yourself.
