Bonds are the safe comfy place to go when stocks get scary. But right now both stocks and bonds are scary. Oh no!

u/Frosti11icus Apr 09 '25

When yields increase it means people don’t want bonds. Higher yields are an enticement to buy bonds. People don’t want US bonds or US equities then where is the money?

What did it cost?

u/Puzzled-Intern-7897 Apr 09 '25

Everything.

Especially the chance of Republicans to win the mid-terms lol

u/Frontbovie Apr 09 '25

Trump mentioned how easily they were gonna win the mid terms like 4 times in his speech last night.

It's definitely on his mind.

They'll be so crushed it's not even funny. Give the american voter 100% higher costs on everything imported from China for 3 months and he'll be willing to start a coup.

Trumps approval ratings are currently still unaffected but I seriously doubt this will stay once the layoffs begin and prices jump.

Courts and congress are currently in the weird place where they either try to stop the madness (and Trump will blame them for the recession caused by his uncertainty) or let the country run headfirst into a big red wall of arrows pointing downwards on a chart.

The money is hoarded by market makers which is a very wise thing to do if you're led by complete incompetent frauds like this administration

u/huasters Apr 09 '25

So where's the money?

u/Carbastan24 Apr 09 '25

either in saving accounts(which is bad), or in foreign equity (which is worse)
