Global bond sell-off pushes yields to multi‑decade highs
Brent crude passed $92 a barrel on Tuesday, reviving inflation concerns and helping drive a global bond selloff.
JazzComposer2Is it true that rump does not like solar and wind because Mother Nature does not charge $92.68 (Brent crude 09-01-2026) per barrel or make "donations"? oilprice.com
pepperoni-dogfart.bsky.social2I didn't even really buy my EV for the gas savings, just needed to replace my 16 YO car and wanted this one because it's neat, I found a good used one at an awesome price last fall. Now I'm feeling like a goddamn genius.
Bert in Colorado2Most people think crude oil is only for automobiles and gas powered engines. If only people knew how many things this actually affects.
Andrew Harper1FAUX NEWS 11/04/25: “Trump is Burying Bidenomics.” Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent says “We are approaching America's Golden Age under President Trump.”
Moose Gossage1More Trump war and policy failures...but he's making money...you can bet on it.
gabrielgambino1Gas at the highest levels. #Republicans idea of #America great again. 🚩🇺🇲
i actually think Bessent's extraordinary buyback intervention backfired: it made bond investors more nervous, not less. www.nytimes.com/2026/09/01/b...

Mind Titan4If market traders are the screamingly unhinged,twitching yin of the market, bond traders are steely analytical yang
K. Moore 🦋📚🎼4The failed hedge fund manager has the gall to call dems lazy and jealous of the wealthy, chuckling in his supercilious way with another buffoon, Kudlow. Worst US treasury sec.
bob4Agreed. What Treasury tried was never going to be big enough to be anything but symbolic; markets read the symbol as something like unease or even panic.
BonFire3Well when a Treasury guy acts like a Hedge fund guy thwarting the Fed guy-it's troubling. #FinSky
‘Years of fiscal stimulus and military spending, following Covid and Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, have left major industrialized nations in a weakened fiscal position. Those accumulated deficits were effectively the dry timber the Iran war now threatens to set ablaze.’ www.wsj.com/opinion/oil-...
t0ussaint ☭黑人问号脸5does 'fiscal stimulus' mean tax cuts for rich pricks cause thats what happened, with the military bsky.app/profile/t0us...
marnier.bsky.social3Raised in NY so I def thought he’d crash our economy. Didn’t know he’d be such an overachiever.
Kevin Kelly2You mean years of eliminating tax revenue from the US treasury because of trillions in tax cuts for the wealthy. Ffffing fixed it.
Kat4Obama1Guess who was in a much stronger position in 2024, with the world's best post-COVID economic recovery.
Kevin Kelly1As long as the Dow doesn't crash Trump will continue his madness. No consequences = continued lawlessness.
670rv1Those who transion to renewable faster will do better! Energy - cheaper, incredibly efficient, cheaper and comes with energy security! I have no backround in economy, finance, renewable energy or geopolitics - it is sp simple for all of us to figure this out!
Global Bond Yields have also hit their highest level since the Global Financial Crisis.
Mark Chadbourn249And while we’re talking about breaking records, for the first time in history, the national average price of gasoline in the US was above $4.00 per gallon every single day in August.
C.V. Danes4Seems the bond vigilantes looked into their crystal ball and saw the abyss.
Tea Junkie4How much is this being driven by the madness of Trump? Or is there something else going on?
Dave Lennon3so should we be worried or does it all hinge on US bonds?
Funny that. Almost like we are on the cusp of a far bigger house of cards collapsing, huh...
Oiltrashscot2Hey Japan, maybe it's time to sell some of these US bonds
The bond market is doing its thing: warning that inflation is sticky and debt is out of control. Then it sells bonds, drives rates higher, raises debt-service costs, and worsens the debt problem. Efficient markets are funny that way. 1/3 #Blues #DV1 #ProudBlue #GTS www.reuters.com/world/asia-p...
Wile E. Coyote's ACME Sales Rep14Meanwhile at the G20, maybe the U.S. should spend less time trying to convince its enemies to help manage the global economy. We don't really have many friends left in the room, and Russia and China were never going to sign onto Iran boycotts anyway. 2/3
naturallywild.bsky.social1We used to collapse our own economy now tRump will be collapsing the world economy. His legacy will be remembered as an economic pandemic and only the billionaires thrive.
If bond yields rise, what happens to equity prices? They go up super high, right?
elias isquith45the thing you need to remember is it can only good happen.
Raven Onthill7If you mean stock value, no, it falls. When bond yields increase, people move from stocks to bonds.
Heranimos Swingle, Padded Gambeson Man6I think it means it's time to feast upon the goo within?
Json Momoa5yes, they go super high, super fast in every single direction tridimensionaly
HongKongDongSong1If you can get a guaranteed yield from bonds, do you buy stocks without that guaranteed yield? If interest rates go up do companies pay more or less for debt and if they pay more, do they make more or less profit? What happened today in the DJIA when the bonds went up? Did it go up or down?
Darin Self1That's my understanding, @mcopelov.bsky.social ??
Coffeemancer Vanvidum16It's going to be fun to find out which billionaires and firms have become overleveraged.
Vikram Bath8I don’t know how people were okay with holding US bonds before now, but I guess they were eventually going to figure it out. It’s bad enough to have to be holding dollars
The S&P 500 tapping on the floor of its August breakout range as September begins. The market is trying to diffuse the pressure from higher bond yields to particular areas - housing, some industrials, newly rate-sensitive tech hardware. Orderly (so far), Apple/pharma/oil stocks acting as ballast.
Michael Santoli10The floor of the August range showing some give as the day wears on. Can allow for a support band going back to the Aug. 3-4 gap, the June-July highs and the 50-day moving average. It's now about whether this remains an internal "stealth" correction process or prompts a comprehensive pullback.
Lou Mannheim1"Dont fight the Fed!" .... And such a crazy chart. What caused that breakout in Jul-31st time frame? MSFT earnings?
A war that won’t end is sending up bond yields and complicating matters for the Fed, which could face a close call on a rate hike at its upcoming meeting www.wsj.com/economy/cent...

Paul Graf2The Fed *has* been looking past the surge in energy prices — for too long. That's the problem.

Chat, is it good that bond yields are reaching 30 year highs across the board?
