The sell-off in US Treasuries, triggered by President Trump's tariffs, has raised alarms about diminishing investor confidence in the US economy. Typically, bond prices rise when stocks fall, providing a safe haven, but this time, longer-maturity US Treasuries are being sold off en masse, causing yields to rise sharply. Economists express concern over this unusual market behavior, where both stocks and bonds are losing value simultaneously, indicating potential instability in the financial markets and broader economic implications.
"The sell-off in US Treasuries has raised fears that investors' long term confidence in the US economy is waning, prompting concern among economists about financial stability."
"Despite major losses in the US stock market, investors are departing from traditional safe havens, leading to an unusual rise in Treasury yields alongside falling bond prices."
