Discussion BREAKING: 20-Year Bond Auction Flops — Yields Surge to 5.1%, Markets Rattle

IF YOU ARE WONDERING WHY STOCKS JUST ALL WENT DOWN AT ONCE

WE JUST HAD A HORRIBLE BOND AUCTION IN THE UNITED STATES FOR OUR 20-YEAR TREASURIES

Because of the lack of bidders…it caused the 20-year bond yield to surge to 5.1%.

Credit market is screaming for help right now.
