And tomorrow night CME begins trading micro-size Treasury Yield Futures, what then? LOL Dog chasing the Tail chasing the Dog. https://www.cmegroup.com/trading/interest-rates/micro-treasury-yield-futures.html
%% Good points, for sure, words do have meaning. AND really, since when\ IS THE NEWS KNOWN FOR ACCURACY?? MR. Santelli, most likely knows better , so it maybe a bit of his way to shorten it for TV. LOOK how often so many of those clowns use, wrongly, ''overbought, oversold'' NOT calling Mr Santelli a clown.
You failed to see the context. What he meant was yield demanded by investors is going higher (due to rising inflation expectations) thus making the present value of bonds worth less. Bond investors/traders don't primarily watch the price series. They think about basis points over benchmark for a given duration and credit risk. That's also how they quote each other.
they're talking about fair values of non-bond assets, where present values are lowered when rates are higher since it needs to be discounted assuming continuous compounding.
%% Good thing about stocks/ETFs another S&P , another Moodys US debt downgrade may help them; but bond sellers would not look so kindly on that, most likely + i would not blame them......................................................................................IF i kept on borrowing 137%, 157%+/. of what i made \LOL i could get a loan but not cheaply, even if the collateral was good.,
