A good barometer for the state of the economy, in addition to the yield curve structure, is above all the general trend in the interest rate level of government bonds. These are currently in free fall and point to a further fall in inflation rates and a noticeable decline in economic activity in the United States. The markets are currently anticipating interest rate cuts this year by the Federal Reserve of 100 basis points. Whether this will actually happen depends on developments on the US labor market, which also appears to have rolled over in the meantime.

I remember they told me to invest 10% in bonds for my 401k because they were a sure thing.
I always thought that wasnt a good idea, trusting the government with my money.
I was right.

Were you? As rates go down bond prices go up. The massive unrealized losses banks are sitting on from the rapid interest rate increase may give them some relief

This is a high magnitude drama for entangling people's attention from reality. The state must provide for everything just like a good man provides for his family. Why to run such propaganda?
