The bond market is experiencing a rise in yields on 10-year Treasurys and two-year yields, likely due to a combination of factors. One reason could be the uncertainty surrounding the upcoming election, with bond markets potentially anticipating a Republican sweep and reacting accordingly. There are concerns that Trump's policies, such as higher tariffs and tax cuts, could increase the deficit, causing Treasurys to decline. Additionally, strong economic data and doubts about the Federal Reserve's interest rate decisions may be contributing to the bond market's decline. The national debt, which recently reached $1.8 trillion, is also impacting bond markets, as higher debt leads to more bonds in supply and lower demand. Overall, the author believes that the bond market may continue to experience declines for a while longer. Note: This summary does not constitute investment advice.
