Looking like another dark day in the markets...

Dow futures down 823 points, S&P down 105 points, NASDAQ down 313 points

I have been hoping for a relief rally or a dead cat bounce but it doesn't appear that today will be that day

Yesterday morning was the day. The next few weeks are going to be circling the drain.

Looks like the bond market forced their hand and DJT folded for now. Crazy stuff: airline!! stocks went up 25+% in an hour

It’s possible - but I doubt China is the culprit here. They are trying to weaken their currency against the dollar and while the 10 year and the value of the dollar aren’t explicitly linked there is a very close correlation.

Most likely the source of the current yield spike is a combination of a number of factors all tied to the value of the various markets around the world and possibly other debt holders liquidating for various reasons related to the tariffs.

Whatever the reason - it is a bad sign.

Sounds like it was Japan who was dumping bonds.

Suggest an edit here.

Trump has the courage of Hercules, the patience of Job, and the planning ability of Sun Tzu . . . all times negative one. There's no way he could ever actually sustain a trade war. He gets spooked more easily than any leader I've ever seen.
 
looking at a return back to baseline this morning as the market asks if the going up is worth the coming down...

the great Kris Kristofferson captured the Donald we know today.

He's a walkin' contradiction, partly truth and partly fiction
Takin' every wrong direction on his lonely way back home

Can't take the chance
I locked in on 5 yr treasuries at 4.47% a couple weeks ago for half my "wealth" (lol). I just decided I would play it safe I may regret it-but it sure beats losing half of it The other half is in 12 mth CDs at a similar rate. In 12 mths I hope I have some options lol

I still think treasuries are safe. Trump is a dumbass, but even he's not dumb enough to tank our bonds, as the last 24 hours have shown.
