thats what it looks like, but really jpow is rugpulling the bond market by drying up liquidity. bonds are being sold to acquire dollars which are becoming increasingly difficult to get. that's why the dxy keeps going up.
they can't keep it up forever, but they'll liquidate a bunch of people before treasury deficit spending forces them to stop.

How long will you be holding?

If you plan to hold them until maturity, you'll get the rate you expected.

But if you bought T-bills with four weeks until maturity and will sell after one week, yeah, you're taking some risk. You're basically speculating on interest rates.

things look funny in burgerland because the dollar is our currency, but every other currency is inflating away much faster than the dollar.
all that money has been spent and even more is needed to keep the music going. the global markets still run on dollars and they always need more. everyone bitches about the US dumping its debt on the world as if the world doesn't demand a shitload of dollars.
so, jpow is tightening liquidity and going to bankrupt anyone and everyone with bloated balance sheets.
we're gonna see a firesale on all kinds of shit because everyone has to pay their debts in dollars and the dollar tap is slowing down.
it's a textbook liquidity crisis. whether they let it turn into a credit crisis and great depression 2.0 is yet to be seen.

While what you are saying sounds factual and technically correct, I must refute it by offering up a hearty "two more weeks."

The economy should have failed back in 2008 and then in 2020, but did not due to Federal Reserve nonsense. There should have been a bank run in 2023 when SVB failed, but there was not due to FDIC nonsense. The fundementals dont matter, nothing matters, the ride never ends and nothing ever happens.

Except it does - irresponsibly insane levels of government spending has forced the FED's hand - you can't QT truly effectively when .gov and the treasury are spending near $1T a month now.

2020 sealed the deal either way, but financial fuckery has been the norm post 2008 - They broke the 8 year cycle of major economic events ending in 08 with low interest rates and printing and they justified it with Keynesian MMT bullshit

You're assuming they still have the ability to stop it. They don't. If they want to avoid Weimar solutions to Weimar problems, they need to prevent Weimar problems from happening. Weimar problems are caused by high inflation. High inflation is inevitable as long as the Fed's money printer is running. Therefore, stopping Hitler 2.0 (this time he's American and learned from the mistakes of 1.0) requires turning off the money printer. Turning off the money printer causes the financial markets to crash harder than Paul Walker

watch Bank of Japan. if Japanese FinMin announces an end to easy monetary policy and interest rates go positive, that means Japan will start to dump its treasuries to prop up the yen instead of just buying bonds directly like its been doing for years. it will be the end of an era and the USD will rapidly devalue as there is a rush for the exits, UST yields will go up sharply (not basis points but fractions of a percent daily) and US debt will likely be downgraded even further by ratings agencies like Moody's, causing a further cascading effect
