Trading in a major lateral trading range and will not change until there is more clarity on the tariffs. From a textbook perspective, money should be moving into the safety of the U.S. dollar which is the 10-year bond. This would push up the value of the bond and push down yields. The yield trades inversely to the the value of bond which has a fixed payout to maturity. This is not happening. Why? Investors worldwide maybe losing confidence in the U.S. dollar, the U.S. economy and the administration. Trump cannot take this lightly. As of March 2025, the total national debt of the United States is approximately $36.22 trillion. That is a a lot of debt to finance and long-term mortgage rates are tied to the 10-year bond. This is the major reason why Trump blinked on Wednesday. Yes, the U.S. dollar is the reserve currency but this comes with responsibilities.
