Why Treasury movements are confusing markets

US Treasury yields (^TNX, ^TYX, ^FVX) tick higher but move away from the intraday highs after President Donald Trump announced a 90-day tariff pause, sending US stocks (^DJI, ^GSPC, ^IXIC) soaring.
Yahoo Finance Senior Reporter Alexandra Canal sits down with Julie Hyman and Josh Lipton on Market Domination to dive into the bond market reaction.

"What wild swings in Treasuries could be signaling" : They are signaling that the maggots elected an idiot.

The world is walking away from the Wall Street casino now that Trump is running the country. We all know how well he did bankrupting casinos.

China is very strategic, and they’re playing the long game.

Regarding the 3% inflation rate, it's important to note that it may not accurately reflect the true cost increases you're experiencing in your area. In our Midwestern city, real price inflation seems closer to 20%. Do you foresee a reduction in costs for essentials like food, gasoline, or insurance in the near future? We've significantly cut our spending and plan to continue doing so until prices decrease, as we feel it's our responsibility to adapt to these changes.

Indeed, the current administration may have reversed tariff policies in order to prevent a larger crisis in hedge funds' "basis trades." These trades exploit price differences between Treasury bonds and futures contracts, relying on leverage for profit as prices converge. However, recent tariff-induced market disruptions—rising yields and falling bond prices—forced hedge funds to unwind these trades, causing liquidity stress and widening bid-ask spreads in the Treasury market.

Typically, falling stock prices drive investors toward bonds, lowering interest rates. Therfore, the tariffs have created a liquidity issue in hedge funds' basis trades, exposing systemic risks tied to leveraged Treasury positions.

Yields are rising because the U.S. debt ceiling is being reached and may not be funded without having to print more money thus increasing the national debt over the 37 TRILLION $$$ IT currently sits at.

100x leveraged short hedge funds, seriously why is this not very concerning to start with? Sounds like a wildly risky position...

the damage has been done, 7, 8 billion world wide customers are avoiding: "made in USA"

[sbonventure]

Which is it? Foreign investment issues or hedge fund dumping? Why don't we know by now? One could be temporary, the other, not so much, or at least fixable. Kinda matters. Hey America! Wait and see whether you're going to have another financial crisis. . .

[Susan-hub]

My biggest concern is how I will survive all these financial and political crises, especially given the power struggle in the US. The government has really made things more difficult for its citizens, and we cannot sit idly by and suffer all the consequences of poor governance.
