🇺🇸 Something BIG is happening in the US bond market, and it suggests investors are getting seriously nervous. America's 30-year Treasury yield has plunged from around 5.7% to 5.315% in less than three weeks. On October 22 alone, yields COLLAPSED by roughly 15 basis points, one of the sharpest daily moves in months. And the timing is important. Stocks are falling. Oil is trading above $100. France's financial troubles are rattling European markets. Instead of chasing returns, investors are rushing into U.S. government bonds, pushing their prices higher and yields lower. But here's the contradiction. INFLATION is still a problem. America's debt keeps growing. And borrowing costs remain painfully high. Yet investors are suddenly willing to lend Washington money for 30 years at significantly lower yields than just weeks ago. That doesn't necessarily mean confidence in the American economy is returning. It may mean investors are becoming MORE AFRAID of everything else. Writer: Oliver
