<Obviously there was sufficient buying pressure outside of Japan to support treasuries>

Yes, massive running for cover by offside speculators caused by a brief period when the Wizards (Uncle Ernie)have refrained from fooling around with children. We will soon enough see how premanent this is. As much as I'm chomping at the bits to get short bonds, you sure didn't see RW stepping in front of these wild men did you? I posted that more than once too. Never underestimate the ability of funds to distort and disrupt (both ways) any market in the short run or even intermediate run (up to a couple months). The true test of the USD, oil, gold, and bonds will now come as these clowns get neutral or even on the other side of the trade, combined with the return of Uncle Ernie.
