US Treasury Bonds

In this episode, Christian speaks about how in recent months, the 30, 20, and 10 year treasury bonds have had challenges. The government has been having problems finding private sector investors that will buy them, whether it’s a bank, a hedge fund, or a financial institution of another manner. For the last month with the 30 and 20 year bonds at the current rates, there has been very little to no private sector wealth that would be willing to accept those rates. The 10 year bond was trading at 4.166%, but as of April 10, 2024, the bond jumped to 4.560%, which is a 10% increase in the interest rate. This is the third biggest tail on record.
