Long-dated Treasuries are the safe-haven trade again as money rotates into yield. With the 30-year paying over 5%, holding non-yielding assets is harder to justify; after the Fed held, yields fell across the curve and TLT rose 1%. x.com 

Falling Treasury yields reinforce the growth-scare thesis and mark a bullish turn for long-dated Treasuries. The 10-year yield is breaking below 5% as TLT rallies. x.com 

Inflation has broken long-dated US Treasuries' safe-haven role. Long-term Treasuries have returned -4.1% annually in the 2020s to date, versus +4.9% in the 1930s. Long bonds look unlikely to do well for at least the rest of this decade. x.com  x.com  x.com  x.com 

Long-dated US Treasuries look favorable as the rise in 10-year yields appears mostly over; inflation searches have peaked, and only 13 of 29 tracked commodities are above their 50-day averages. x.com  x.com  x.com 

Long-dated US Treasuries show textbook capitulation, suggesting the 10-year yield is near a temporary top. Long bonds have closed below the lower Bollinger band for five straight days on rising volume, with implied-volatility rank at an extreme, a sign of extremely crowded shorts. High rates do little to restrain highly profitable companies such as big tech and semiconductors. x.com 

Long-dated US Treasuries face pressure because the market will buy US debt only at 5%-plus yields, with no short-term fix in sight. The 10-year yield keeps climbing parabolically as Washington issues enormous debt to fund deficits, investors demand more compensation for inflation and duration risk, the Fed is now raising rates, and Treasuries must compete harder for global capital. The government seems reluctant to act, while rising oil prices add to inflation pressure. x.com 

Long-dated Treasuries could rally after a Fed hike, because a hike could lower or at least cap the 10-year yield more than any other intervention at this point. The 10-year yield bottomed near 3.66% when Powell started cutting in September 2024 and has not returned there since. @lord_fed's point that the long end may rally after the hike, having sold off through the 2024 cutting cycle, holds. x.com  x.com 

Long-dated Treasuries are attractive at about a 5.2% yield, which looks like what it takes to draw domestic buyers to replace foreign demand. @acemoney21 argues the supply-demand imbalance is real as China and the EU leave Treasury auctions, so Americans must be incentivized with 5% risk-free yields, and that curve steepening is part of the administration's plan. Locking in about 5% on part of a portfolio for the next 20 years is appealing. x.com  x.com 

Long bonds face renewed downside if Warsh turns dovish amid an energy shock that is likely only beginning. Hot CPI and PPI are not one-offs: oil tankers take two months to arrive, with further refining, manufacturing and distribution delays. A dovish Fed amid those prints will quickly send the 10-year yield to 6%. If Warsh softens tonight, long bonds will erase this week's gains and probably retest lows quickly; he is expected to sound even more hawkish than at Jackson Hole. x.com  x.com  x.com 

Long-dated US Treasuries look worth a small long: recent market action testing Treasuries is likely wrong, and the 20-30 year part of the curve is what the Fed can most easily push around. The Fed may raise rates but would not do QT. A long 30-year position also trims some overall oil beta. x.com  x.com
