US Treasury bonds face imminent panic
The guest argued that the US Treasury bond market is on the verge of a major price breakdown and yield spike as structural debt issues override central bank intervention.
The argument
The guest noted that three major attempts to rally bonds over the last three years have failed, with prices currently poised to break below their three-year lows. This breakdown is expected to trigger a government bond crisis, forcing central banks to aggressively monetize debt to defend the market.
The thesis, stress-tested
✓ What validates it
- ✓30-year Treasury bond futures falling below the key price level of 111
- ✓Yields on long-term bonds breaking to new multi-year highs
▸ Risks discussed
- ▸Central bank intervention with unprecedented liquidity could temporarily distort market pricing
- ▸Shorting bonds carries high risk if the government successfully caps yields
Hear it yourself
"Perhaps something that anyone who's following the fast paced news cycle might be missing. I think that, paying too much attention to headlines is a waste, and quite often destructive for an investor. Imagine the guy who shorted the S and P during the war news. You act upon war news and it's usually transient. It it comes and goes. For example, we there's an assumption out there about gold that it it moves because of global, quote, uncertainty. That's by far not the reason it moves. It moves because of certainty. Certainty of the ongoing degradation in fiat money units."
