Bigworld, I'd be interesting in your take on that Fox article (below). So they had to tank the stock market to get the 6.5 trillion in Treasuries sold (!) This is off the charts unreal, and not only means QE (Fed buying its own debt) is no longer feasible, but the US has sunk to canabalizing itself to stave off collapse. So the US finally gets its final margin call.

This also means that Treasuries (even T-bills) will soon be no longer safe. So stocks are out, bonds are out, no Treasuries, no T-bills, what's left --> gold, hard assets. Real estate (?) It's highly leveraged / mortgaged in the US, so a big recession means foreclosures skyrocket. Raw land (?) Deep sh*t approaches, and fast..


>>> Here's what Trump is really up to with high-stakes tariff gambit <<<

Excerpts -

... In 2025, the U.S. government must refinance $9.2 trillion in maturing debt. Some $6.5 trillion of that comes due by June. That is not a typo—that is a debt wall the size of a small continent...

... By introducing sweeping tariffs, the administration is creating precisely the kind of economic uncertainty that drives investors toward safer assets such as long-term U.S. Treasuries. When markets are spooked, capital exits risk and equity assets (as we see with the stock market collapse) and piles into safe assets, primarily the 10-year U.S. treasury bond. That demand pushes yields lower.
