Rev REPO 351 BILLION today - up from yesterdays 293 BILLION and another new high for the year. At this point if they taper the REPO this will puke.
 Not quite. treasury yields and the prime interest rate set by the Fed are different. Investors use the treasury yield as an indicator for whether they think rates will go up or down cause usually the bond market has it right and acts long before others (including the Fed). So if they trash the dollar treasury yields "should" go parabolic BUT its in reaction to hyperinflation so it stores wealth and protects against inflation but you don't actually gain any real wealth. The gov't can still issue NEW debt and only pay the interest the Fed sets for the debt regardless of what the treasuries are doing. What the Fed is doing now though is trying to "sell" or monitize as much of the debt as possible before allowing the yields to rise, so those buying the bonds now are going to be underwater as soon as the rates spike. The Fed won't care at that point cause the debt would have been financed. Once yields spike and bond holders get liquidated it will negatively affect EVERY market.
got it,that's why i'm not buying any treasury bonds now.  even if the rates go up, the bond values will tank.
 Gundlach "the bond king" would agree with you.
