Either that or just a crazy short squeeze. Apparently it was getting pretty lopsided.
Maybe they used the holiday and the low volume??
I don't know. All seems quiet now on the US bind market.
Maybe the ECB bought up the USTs??

Yes it is a very good moment to intervene. But they have not confirmed to be an intervention. They can only confirm it next month I think. It certainly looks like they did something, but they can do much more. They still don't like it above 150.

Just that is what I was thinking too, I think it's too early to say, but one thing I know for sure, Japan can't go on like this for long, a big crisis has to come to the country for its citizens to wake up, I don't know if most Japanese people are aware of their situation, with a strongly declining demographic, being the most indebted economy in the world and with salaries frozen for a very long time.
