yes, i can clearly see that if the coming large federal budget deficit has been outed by the bond holders that the bond futures would just meltdown. that is a valid point you make. i just would not have thought the bond traders and bond investors would have pumped the 30 year tbonds so much one week (already knowing big deficits were looming) only to let the bus roll over them the next week (these bond traders knew everything about deficits long, long ago). perhaps the panic short covering from the prior week just left no bids around when the sellers wanted out. i will add one other possibility for the bond blood bath this week. some international fund or something may have blown up, and big unwinding is happening. maybe that is why the huge international account selling was referenced by the yahoo link by slider's comment.
