**BOND REPORT** October 26, 2025 | Global #Bond Market Stress Signals Flash Red 🩸 The global bond landscape is flashing intense warning signals as sovereign and corporate credit stress deepens. The mood across credit markets is clearly bearish, with liquidity tightening and investor unease accelerating. U.S. Treasury yields have plunged toward 4% after a softer inflation read, sparking a powerful bond rally. But beneath the surface, concerns around structural debt burdens are mounting, with safe-haven demand masking deeper fragilities in sovereign balance sheets. The Federal Reserve’s balance sheet and reverse repo pools are showing mounting stress as liquidity in short-term funding markets thins. This tightening is feeding into broader fixed income volatility, raising the specter of systemic funding pressures. A major driver of sentiment is the accelerating U.S. debt trajectory. The national debt has now breached $38 trillion, climbing at a pace of roughly $500 billion per month. This surge in borrowing is creating sustained anxiety about debt service costs and long-term fiscal credibility. Corporate credit markets are also showing cracks. Undersubscription in recent bond offerings underscores growing investor caution, with widening credit spreads reflecting diminished risk appetite and tightening liquidity conditions. Europe’s bond market reveals fragile sentiment. Pulled deals and rising yields highlight evaporating confidence, while fiscal strains in France and other economies are intensifying scrutiny from rating agencies and global investors. Global rating downgrades and warnings on sovereign debt vulnerabilities are amplifying the pressure. Emerging markets such as Pakistan and several European issuers are confronting widening deficits, rising borrowing costs, and increased capital flight risk. Investor positioning is turning defensive. Large institutional players are rotating selectively into alternative sovereign bonds while reducing exposure to higher-risk debt. This shift reflects a broad repositioning in the face of growing uncertainty. Meanwhile, Eurozone yields are climbing on persistent inflation concerns and geopolitical pressure, diverging from the U.S. rally. This widening gap is creating distortions across global sovereign curves and increasing volatility across bond markets. The overall backdrop is further aggravated by mounting sovereign funding needs, rising geopolitical risks, and liquidity stress across major funding channels. Key institutions have issued repeated warnings of potential repricing shocks across the global bond complex. Taken together, bond markets are signaling tight liquidity, growing sovereign risk, and accelerating flight to safety. The sentiment remains firmly bearish, with rising volatility and funding stress forming the core of the current fixed income environment.

>>JAPAN 30-YEAR BOND BID-COVER RATIO 3.31 VS 12-MONTH AVG 3.38 >Explain for a retard u/barelyreadsenglish It's sensational fear about a totally irrelevant ratio (demand for 30 year debt). Why it is completely irrelevant is that BoJ is still printing money, committed to doing so until 2027 and has full control of their yield curve via distribution of debt maturity. Issuance + central bank activities can easily control yields to whatever they want.
**FINALLY BOND AUCTION IN 13 MINS** Maybe finally the chart will have a candle bigger than a single pixel
TLT dropping 0.6% in a couple of minutes is substantial. BOND barely moves and dropped 0.25% Bonds continue to decline, no one wants to buy debt longer than like 3 month notes
people are surprisingly ignorant of what does drive markets. BOND MARKETS drive capital flows. the reason april 2 was a dumpster fire was NOT the tariff threat, it was the yield on long dated bonds going to 5% which has gigantic repercussions in FX and affects a ludicrous amount of leveraged arbitrage trades. if you actually do want a glimpse on when the next dump payer fire occurs, all you have to track is the long term bond yield. sidebar: the fed rate setting game is also no longer as significant as it used to be. this is because since april, we have seen that even when the overnight rate is set lower, that doesn't immediately translate to long term debt becoming much cheaper. ergo: watch the long term bond yields and ignore the twit in chief.

And those prices are also insane. A P/E of 30 means if every dollar of profit returns to shareholders without growth, you are looking a a 3.3% return. I can get better yield in a money market fund. I dont like investing on a "bigger fool" theory. I only buy a stock if I would be comfortable buying 100% of a company at that price, taking it private, and holding it forever. Doing that with Apple at this price and this growth rate would produce returns of about 4.5%. I certainly am not taking on equity risk for 4.5%. I wouldnt buy an Apple BOND at 4.5%. And yes, it is hard to find good buys in this market, but that is no reason to pay ridiculous prices for a dollar of earnings.

NOVEL INCOMING 30 YEAR BOND AUCTION SUMMARY Coupon Rate: 4.75% High Yield: 4.844% Median Yield: 4.800% Bid-to-Cover Ratio: 2.43 Total Offering: $22.0 billion Indirect Bidders: 65% of accepted bids Direct Bidders: 23% Primary Dealers: Only 11% Auction Tail: +4.4 bps IMPLICATIONS Mildly Bearish Higher auction yield (4.844%) = rising real rates = higher opportunity cost to hold gold. But strong demand (2.43 bid-to-cover, 65% indirect) limits downside — foreign buying = soft USD support. U.S. Equities Slightly Bearish Higher long-term yields pressure valuation of growth stocks and increase borrowing costs. The small positive tail hints at some investor hesitation = risk-off tone. U.S. Dollar Neutral to Slightly Bullish Higher yields attract capital = supports dollar. But strong foreign demand for bonds could dampen upward momentum.
The equity market forced nothing. The BOND market forced the repeal. Remember the 10 year breaking 5%? And repeal the next day? With this much govt debt in the world, the bond market controls politicians.

Learn how to hedge or at least keep trailing stop lost % orders on almost everything you have. I say 'almost everything' because you will generally make money if you hold long. For instance, I don't even pay attention to my blue chip stocks like MSFT, IBM, HD, JNJ, ABV, etc. However, I do wrap those TSL% orders around things like AMD, ARM, PLTR, CRWV. That's how come I didn't take a huge beating on liberation day(s). Depending on the stock and the price per share I'll put anywhere from 7.5%, 10%, 12%, or 15% on everything else. If my % gain is higher than my TSL% order if the sell gets triggered I still make $. If I've got something that's only up 3% and -again depending on stock - I'll put a 7.5% TSL% order in and if it gets triggered then my losses are minor. If I've got something that's up 25% I'll put a 10-12% TSL% order on it. If the cost per share is higher, like 120 then I'm comfortable with a 10% TSL because it has to drop $12. On the other hand if I have a $15 stock, I'll put a much higher TSL$ of 20-25% because it's easier to lose a higher percentage like a -$2 move on a $15 stock. With big drops I don't lose as much if any and can buy in at a lower price point, and yes I've had those few stocks that trigger my sell and the next day it rockets back up and I mother fuck my stupidity, but I don't sit around with 40-70% unrealized losses. I play percentages not dollars. $'s cause anxiety, %'s not as bad. I like to average 2-5% daily portfolio gains. That adds up if you can do it several days a week. Makes your yearly ROI beat any CD or BOND. Also, with TSL% orders on my riskier plays, I don't have to watch the market all day. I only have to watch from 8:00 am - 10:00 am, and then just catch the last hour - sometimes will buy or short AH and rarely before the bell because I've been burnt too many times jumping on the pre-marrket pops only to see it disappear within the first few minutes after the opening bell.-

**ABOUT BOND AUCTION TIMES** Gemini told me this after asking the question several times, but I could not confirm with a solid source: The closing time for non-competitive bids for Treasury bills and CMBs is 11:00 AM Eastern Time (ET) on May 22nd**. Competitive bidding usually closes at 1:00 PM ET.** It seems that 11am there was an initial bid, which coincides with the spike today, so it could be, then people go into auction mode for final results at 1pm, may be good info

Totally fair frustration a lot of people got burned by bond ETFs in that 2021–2022 window. What happened is pretty straightforward: when interest rates rise, bond prices fall. Since BOND and BNDX hold longer-duration bonds, they were hit hard as the Fed started hiking aggressively. SGOV held up because it’s ultra-short duration, so it doesn’t get smacked by rate changes in the same way. That said, you’re absolutely right to wonder about the *opposite* happening. If rates *drop*, bond prices should rise, especially for funds like BOND and BNDX. But yeah, a lot of that potential rebound is already priced in — unless the Fed cuts faster or deeper than expected, it probably won’t be a huge snapback. I’ve personally shifted some of my capital to places where yield is more predictable. One tool I’ve been using is LPShares it’s a platform for private and secondary deals, where you can sometimes find better returns without being so tied to interest rate headlines. Might be worth exploring if you’re looking for ways to move beyond traditional bond ETFs.
Thank you for explaining! "BOND" is called "PIMCO active bond ETF", so I guess the active part didn't do anything.
> Why did BOND ETF plummet in 2021 Because interest rates rose significantly, in a very short period of time. Bond prices have a direct inverse relationship with interest rates. My question is: When interest rates are cut, could there be a reversal of what happened in 2021 and 2022? Yes. Falling rates means rising prices
Thank you for explaining this! The PIMCO Active Bond ETF "BOND" says "Intermediate Core Plus Bond" while BND says "Intermediate Core Bond". But you're saying they're interchangable, right? Also, I don't see it as short-term savings but rather safer savings. (And I would never have bought them, but it was a time when I had a terrible financial advisor, so I'm trying to get myself out of what he did.)
"So should I just assume that there will be no spike in the future and instead tranfer BOND and especially BNDX to where they will be receiving higher yields?" zero people know the answer here
“I have my uninvested savings in the ETFs BOND and BNDX” Your savings are invested, in BND and BNDX.
Realize that with any BOND Fund/ETF, your investment funds is NOT guarenteed to remain whole & will decrease in value when interest rates increase. This is different when you buy actual bonds. If you own the bond until it matures, you will be paid the face value of the bond; which is usually the purchase price.

too many young regards up in here and it shows. The stock market is the shallow end of the pool. Once you grow up and lose the floaties, then you can play where the big boys are at; the BOND market. Now say thank you.
BOND MARKET. Say it with me. The Bond Market is the emperor of the global economy and all countries are vassals to some degree. The US is a big player and incredibly important, but the bond market can and will judge the US for his actions. If that judgement is highly unfavorable the interest to service our debt will radically increase. If that happens you can bet there will be massive consequences and when that happens even his supporters will blame him for the most part. Do I think the US is doomed over this? No. I think Trump and his policies are unforced errors that will be taught in schools for generations. I think its highly likely the exhaustion over him and his antics will rapidly wear down people, but it wont be in a way that is favorable for him or the US. Instead foreign people will simply say its exhausting and I can get just as good or better yield for the money going elsewhere. Americans on the other hand are going to be exhausted by him either way. They might ride it out with their investing dollars or they might send the money elsewhere.
Negatory, the BOND MARKET is what needs to turn into a blood bath. That’s what made Trump cave last week.
Not if it's in foreign currency. FXF gained 10% like in the last month. That's your dollars melting away. Are people not fucking paying attention? The BOND market almost failed last week. For the first time in history, betting against the USA is sober choice.
Mango: TODAY I am switching to the PANICAN party. SLEEP JOE left us a completely devastated BOND MARKET, which I tried to fix, but then CHINA and CANADA and MEXICO broke it again. I am advising ALL TRUE AMERICANS to run to their bank and withdraw all their money. GOD BLESS AMERICA!!!

The BOND MARKET held all the cards, same thing happened in the UK, we were lucky to be able to get ris of Truss after 40 days. You guys are not so lucky.
Its not going to be 90 days, the tariffs are off the BOND MARKET held all the cards not Trump. He will forget them by next week and the Tarrif on China will be 10% a week Friday.
It turned out the BOND MARKET held all the cards.
He PROVED the ORIGIN of the STOCK (STOCKADE!!) and BOND (BONDAGE!!) market... And WHY IS IT A MARKET?! Because it WAS A MARKET ... of slaves!!
Moral of the story for all this: \*TRUMP: WAS WATCHING BOND MARKETS \*TRUMP: BOND MARKET NOW IS BEAUTIFUL Keep an eye on bonds. Any time market wants to force Trump's hands, just watch the 10Y and 30Y. Any big upward spikes on those and Trump will fold.

10 YR BOND YIELD IS SPIKING RIGHT NOW and I don't know what means for us
It's naive to believe they aren't nefarious. Forcing more people to work to literal death, controlling and manipulating the masses by dangling a carrot in front of them, transferring more wealth to them... This is all intentional, dude. I don't understand why people like you are like, "LOL HE AINT A BOND VILLAIN". Uh, tyrants and evil people have and currently do exist, and they tend to be quite shrewd. Trump and his lackeys seem like idiots (and in a sense, I think they are), but this is all very much being done to hurt us.
For those who don’t know, tariffs causing uncertainty is making the stock market drop…so that the government can invest 2 trillion dollars when BOND rates fall…dropping inflation.
After the Civil War in America there was a period of great economic growth known as the Industrial Revolution. This led to a bunch of speculative bubbles in the rail road industry and as people do, they over invested in that specific asset leading to an overbuilding of railroads. The Jay Cooke and Company, a major railroad company at the time, collapsed like Bear Sterns and boom went the market. There were also other big bad confounding issues that led to it getting worse such as the Chicago Fire, the US going on the Gold standard, a collapse in the railroad bond market from EUROPEAN BOND SELL OFFs. That’s not all. I decided to just grab this from Wikipedia because I didn’t want to paraphrase it: “The period preceding the Long Depression had been one of increasing economic internationalism, championed by efforts such as the Latin Monetary Union, many of which then were derailed or stunted by the impacts of economic uncertainty.[40] The extraordinary collapse of farm prices[16] provoked a protectionist response in many nations. Rejecting the free trade policies of the Second Empire, French president Adolphe Thiers led the new Third Republic to protectionism, which led ultimately to the stringent Méline tariff in 1892.[41] Germany's agrarian Junker aristocracy, under attack by cheap, imported grain, successfully agitated for a protective tariff in 1879 in Otto von Bismarck's Germany over the protests of his National Liberal Party allies.[41] In 1887, Italy and France embarked on a bitter tariff war.[42] In the United States, Benjamin Harrison won the 1888 US presidential election on a protectionist pledge.”
I had two largish CDs mature recently, and decided to move some funds to the following to reduce my exposure to the USD and the US economy: ENOR ISHARES MSCI NORWAY ETF FLCH FRANKLIN FTSE CHINA ETF FXE INVESCO CURRENCYSHARES EURO TRUST ETF FXF INVESCO CURRENCYSHARES SWISS FRANC TRUST ETF GDX VANECK GOLD MINERS ETF IAUM ISHARES GOLD TRUST MICRO ETF SGOL ABRDN STANDARD PHYSICAL GOLD ETF VEUSX VANGUARD EUROPEAN STOCK INDEX ADMIRAL CL VTABX VANGUARD TOTAL INTL BOND INDEX ADMIRAL CL VYMI VANGUARD INTL HIGH DIVIDEND YIELD INDEX ETF We'll see how this strategy plays out, but I feel pretty confident that it's a good hedge against a USD devaluation and a tariff-induced recession. It's only about 25% of my portfolio; the rest is mostly bonds, CDs, treasuries, and high dividend stocks and ETFs. I'm hoping to retire early and get the fuck out of this country, so capital preservation is key.
A lot of institutions switched to Bond (BOND)
My daughter was in a similar age/situation a couple of years or ago. We opened an account for her at Vanguard and set her up like this: VBTLX (VANGUARD TOTAL BOND MARKET INDEX ADMIRAL CL): 13% VTABX (VANGUARD TOTAL INTL BOND INDEX ADMIRAL CL): 7% VTIAX (VANGUARD TOTAL INTL STOCK INDEX ADMIRAL CL): 30% VTSAX (VANGUARD TOTAL STOCK MARKET INDEX ADMIRAL CL): 50% We also created a Roth for her and put it all into VSVNX-Vanguard Target Retirement 2070 Fund For everything but the Roth (since it was pretty small and would get an annual addition), we invested 10% of the total every couple of weeks until she was fully invested. I understand the appeal of bitcoin, but I really worry it will underperform going forward. It's small enough and you are young enough that it shouldn't hurt, but I'd advise that you keep good records and circle back in 5 years to see if it is doing as well as everything else.
BOND FUNDS will decrease in value during times of increasing inflation. You've been warned!
