    Going to be very interesting to see if it follows through tomorrow. The US still has a higher yield than most other "developed" nations and a stronger currency, so who knows?
    I have to admit I'm looking for a trade here, but as always, cheap can get cheaper.

    Be interesting to see how long the worlds central banks, debt buying binge holds rates down to these dramatic levels. Not sure how a 2.39% long bond offers more stimulus than a 3%.

    good link.
    And as the dollar soars, so does the real yield on bonds denominated in dollars. That may not surprise everyone, but few can support a claim of predicting this a few years ago.

    It's always been about bonds. I wonder what these 1%ers from around the world are going to do when the US debt load requires a few more $trillion be created as more and more of our unfunded liabilities kick in?

    Positive yield is one thing. Real interest rates are something else. Gold is rising in every one of these countries in which the currency is crashing. Don't think that the dollar is going to be immune from the currency wars.

    Since 2007 at least, it's always been about debt of all kinds and leverage in derivatives.

    The decline from democracy to tyranny is both a natural and inevitable one.

    Lows holding so far, was it enough of a blow off? Volume was OK, nothing spectacular.

    Better if we could return to an open market on debt instruments.

    Though all are free to trade, the prices are hugely influenced by coordinated international central bank buying. 60,000,000,000 euro per month is the current figure. Not sure if Japan is still in the game but theirs and the US purchases were in the same range.

    Germans 10 years are now at about .30 percent. Risky Italian and Spanish bonds are under 2%.

    Greece banks got hammered the other day as a default is on the horizon. Banks hold substantial positions on sovereign debt.

    It's those Feds keeping interest rates low so grey haired folk can't get a a return on their cd's and money market funds.

    Damn Feds.

    Collusion is wonderful, especially for the Wall Street slime. And when the party busts, we can all get our checkbooks handy.....again!

    What happened to long rates after the Fed quit making monthly purchases?
    There are many players other than the Fed involved in the Bond market and believe it or not, as whole they decide what long term rates will be, much more than the fed.
    If Foreign governments, International buyers, hedge funds and the deep pockets decide to buy or sell long bonds, there is not much the Fed can do in limiting the effect on rates.
    This is nothing new.
