The Fed Just Blinked. China Is About to Nuke the Bond Market. Buckle the F* Up.

Alright you beautiful degenerates, listen the fuck up. This isn’t just another $GME circlejerk or YOLO on $SPY puts. We are standing on the edge of a historic, systemic financial collapse—and the match has already been lit.

TL;DR: The Fed blinked. Treasuries are teetering. China holds the detonator. You have days—maybe weeks—before the floor vanishes.

https://www.reuters.com/markets/us/minn-feds-kashkari-rising-treasury-yields-could-show-investors-moving-us-2025-04-11/

Let’s lay it out:

Trump jacked tariffs on China to kingdom come. China hit back at 125%. But here’s the trick: they STOPPED there. No more escalation. That wasn’t weakness. That was positioning.

Japan, China, and South Korea—yeah, the countries that usually hate each other—started chatting like old war buddies. Why? Because Trump’s trade policy has turned the U.S. into a geopolitical liability. They’re not teaming up for fun—they’re hedging against the collapse of American sanity.

Then Japan started dumping U.S. Treasuries. Quietly. Just enough to send yields vertical and make Wall Street sweat bullets. That wasn’t random—it was a signal.

South Korea? Still pumping chips. TSMC might start whispering to the Taiwanese government that maybe, just maybe, aligning with China isn’t such a bad idea if it means Trump stops threatening their supply chain. Yeah—soft reunification pressure, served cold.

China’s sitting on $759B in U.S. bonds. They start selling slowly. Not fast enough to crash the market—but enough to make everyone else wonder who’s selling. Then the dominoes fall. BRICS nations? Gone. Gulf states? Gone. Eurozone? GONE.

And what do we get today? The Fed blinks. “We’ll stabilize the market if needed.” Translation: “Please don’t run. But we’re scared shtless and ready to turn the money printers back on.”

That’s it. That’s the whole ballgame. They just confirmed the Treasury market can’t stand without life support.

You are going to see:

Yields go to the fucking moon

Dollar starts shivering

Foreign investors pulling out

Bond auctions flopping like a meme ICO

Credit lines dying overnight

Illiquid companies—boom, dead

Fed intervention—guaranteed

And maybe, just maybe, a global fucking run on the U.S. debt system

This isn’t a recession. This is the moment the U.S. stops being the center of global finance.

Get your puts. Get your gold. Hell, get your memes. But know this:

China’s not starting a war. They’re ending one. And they’re doing it with the one thing we can’t print: trust.

Tick tock.

I hope to fuck I'm just an idiot.

Mortgage rates surge over 7% as tariffs hit bond market

KEY POINTS *The average rate on the popular 30-year fixed mortgage surged 13 basis points Friday to 7.1%. *Mortgage rates are now at the highest level since February. *"Forget about housing in this environment," said Nancy Lazar, global chief economist at Piper Sandler.

The average rate on the popular 30-year fixed mortgage surged 13 basis points Friday to 7.1%, according to Mortgage News Daily. That's the highest rate since mid-February.

Mortgage rates have been on a roller coaster ride all week, as bond yields spiked higher mid-week when President Donald Trump's new tariffs on dozens of countries went into effect. Yields dropped when Trump lowered the tariff rate on most countries hours later. Tariffs on Chinese imports, however, currently stand at 145%.

But bonds began selling off again Friday, despite a cooler-than-expected inflation report. Mortgage rates loosely follow the yield on the 10-year Treasury.

"There have been some bad weeks for bonds here and there over the careers of most anyone who's alive to read these words, but unless your career began before 1981, you just lived through the worst week you've ever seen in terms of the jump in 10-year yields," said Matthew Graham, chief operating officer at Mortgage News Daily.

Graham said there are two ways to look at where bonds are trading today: "This is either the end of the worst week for 10-year yields since 1981 or the end of a fairly average two weeks that fit right in with the trend of the past 18 months."

On Friday, another monthly report on consumer sentiment came in substantially lower than expected. The expectation for inflation jumped from 5% in March to 6.7% in April, the highest level since 1981.

All of this comes right in the heart of the all-important spring housing market. For most consumers, a home is their single largest investment.

"Forget about housing in this environment, with mortgage rates back up, consumers certainly concerned about the job market, housing will also be on the weak side," said Nancy Lazar, chief global economist at Piper Sandler,

So are we just going to ignore that we will soon have a worse housing crisis? To sum it up, this basically means that banks won't just easily lend you money to buy a house anymore and thanks to Trump, you will pay a much higher rate when you apply for a loan. Those who own a home and are paying off loans, y'all are about to have a rude awakening... Rent will increase as well because landlords will need to pay a higher rate on their bank loans. Not to mention how badly the stock market will get hit in the near future. I could go on how bad this is, but you'll get bored.Have you said thank you already?
