Lately, the market’s been moving over 1,000 points a day. We call this volatility fueled by uncertainty. We’ve been talking about falling yields, rising rates, and now tariffs are back in the headlines… but what if the real story is in the credit market?
In this episode, we’re replaying one of our favorite breakdowns: bond vigilantes — who they are, how they got their name, and the role they’ve played in shaping market history. And with everything happening right now, it’s more relevant than ever.
We walk through what’s going on with the 10-year Treasury yield, why a major hedge fund’s exit triggered a wave of selling, and how a “buyer’s strike” in the bond market could turn into something even bigger. Jess shares why she thinks this yield surge might be what actually caught Trump’s attention, and what that means for the rally that followed.
We also tie in the basis trade and why volatility in the bond market can be a warning sign for the economy.
This episode brings historical context to today’s chaos — because once you understand the credit market, you start to see how it quietly drives everything else.
