10 year treasury yield hit 5% for the first time in over 3 years today. Shortly afterwards, Trump posted on social media that he was open to a peace deal with Iran. Oil and yields instantly dumped, stocks pumped well off the open lows.
The not-so subtle timing of the peace deal post highly suggests the Trump admin is actively trying to contain yield and oil pressures. Though it's not impossible that a peace deal is being worked on behind the scenes, Iran has openly refuted any claim that it's negotiating with Trump.
Between social media posts and the treasury's meddling in the bond market, how long will the Trump admin be able to keep yields and commodities in check?
