The Big Bond Selloff!
The 10-year U.S. Treasury yield closed above 4.9% yesterday, its highest level since July 2007. The bond-market sell-off that's pushing yields higher is starting to eclipse some of the most extreme market meltdowns of past eras.Losses on Ten Year Treasury Bonds are close to 50% since March 2020, while the 30-year bond had plunged even more.Those losses are nearly in line with stock-market losses seen during the worst crashes of recent stock market history — when equities slumped 49% after the dot-com bubble burst and 57% in the aftermath of the financial crisis of 2007-2008.Compared with previous bond-market meltdowns, long-term Treasurys are seeing one of the most extreme collapses in history. The losses are twice as severe as those seen in 1981 when 10-year yields neared 16%.With prices plunging and yields at decade highs, lets look at who feels the pain from the bond selloff.Patrick's Books:Statistics For The Trading Floor: https://amzn.to/3eerLA0Derivatives For The Trading Floor: https://amzn.to/3cjsyPFCorporate Finance: https://amzn.to/3fn3rvCPatreon Page: https://www.patreon.com/PatrickBoyleOnFinanceBuy Me a Coffee: https://buymeacoffee.com/patrickboyleVisit our website: www.onfinance.orgFollow Patrick on Twitter Here: https://twitter.com/PatrickEBoylePatrick Boyle YouTube Channel Support the Show.
