The US national debt – the total amount of Treasury securities – rose to $35.00 trillion, according to the Treasury Department on Friday (rounded to the nearest billion: $34.998 trillion). Since the beginning of the year, in less than seven months, the debt has jumped by $1.0 trillion. Since January 2020, the debt has ballooned by 50%.
Yellen is issuing huge gobs of Bills (short term).
A Bill with a duration of 3mths is almost = to cash or pure money printing. Of course paying the interest currently accelerates the interest payments value, necessitating ever more debt...hence why we are now through the $35 Trillion mark and accelerating.
OMG
WTF?
Was Thursday a short term bottom?
Possibly, certainly that thought is bubbling in the background.
Certainly with the probabilities of rate cuts, Bonds are catching fire:
Must differentiate between a trade and actually holding this POS.
With inflation ramping up (on the quiet) holding bonds is simply setting your money on fire. As a trade, sure jump on board. Thing is you really need to leverage this trade 50:1 at a minimum, far better at 500:1 (Hedge Fund territory). The difficulty is getting out if something happens.
