Absolutely incredible:

The US 20Y Note Yield is now above 5.00%.

At the current pace, we will have 7% mortgages and $4.00 gas prices this week.

Talk about a turn of events.

The 20-year Treasury yield just punched through 5%.

That’s the bond market telling you something the White House press office won’t: the trade war tariff and Iran chaos is starting to look a lot like a self-inflicted credit event. Foreign holders are selling US Treasuries. Yields spike when prices fall. Basic stuff. Painful stuff.

The downstream math writes itself. 7% mortgages. $4 gas.

Here’s the part that should make you spit out your coffee: this isn’t happening because the economy is roaring. It’s happening because the world is quietly, methodically, repricing the risk of holding American debt. That’s a very different animal.

The adults used to be in the room. The room is now on fire and someone is arguing about the drapes.
Talk about a turn of events.

      There was an awful woman on TikTok, who came online and justified voting against Joe Biden because of the cost of slices of cheese., which was her daughter’s favorite snack.😒😒😒
