The stock market significance of treasury yields spiking

“…Moody's cuts America's pristine credit rating, citing rising debt…President Donald Trump's efforts to cut taxes and send ripples through global markets…”17 May 2025 Reuters. It makes US Bond interest rate higher to get other countries to buy our debt. It’s like a homeowner trying to get a second mortgage and being told you must pay a higher interest rate because you have a poor credit score.

Trump tax, Trump dumb bill. Trump is failing for the US people but making the 1% great again.

The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA) of 2017 gave Trump’s billionaire supporters a tax break and make it permanent in the 2025 budget. Cutting federal entitlements only pushes the debt to individual states and doesn’t make up for the lost revenue from Trump’s billionaire supporters’ income taxes. “…Moody's cuts America's pristine credit rating, citing rising debt…President Donald Trump's efforts to cut taxes and send ripples through global markets…”17 May 2025 Reuters. It’s like the bank increasing your credit card interest rate you must pay because of your poor credit rating when you only pay the minimum monthly amount, and your monthly debt is increasing.

When will we stop acting like America isn’t bankrupt…

Down grade doesn’t help either.

Moodys is fishy, 37 trillion was the magic number, why now why no 10 years ago....something off. Would not surprise me if we find out dem backers did this

I hope giving tax breaks to the rich is worth ruining the country.

just like desperate people do desperate thing so do governments.

Trump is the one that is causing the economy to collapse

Buy gold

More tax breaks for the rich and more deficit spending. What could go wrong?

There is no trust in the insurrectionist. Peoria or Tokyo.

A man with a history of bankruptcy and being a con artist has tanked your economy!

With China and Japan both holding a large share of the available U.S. Treasury Bonds, what would happen if they suddenly decided to LIQUIDATE these holdings and just flood the bond market?

...especially at a time when our current and projected GDP is facing a severe DOWNTURN and the National Debt is projected to INCREASE past ALREADY record levels...

In economic terms, that sounds like a "perfect storm"...
Is this a real concern or am I missing something here?

Treasury auctions have failed in the past, it'll fizzle out and we'll go back to all time highs. Eventually the bottom will drop out... could be months, years, decades...

All because republicans want to cut taxes on the rich yet again.

I'm glad there are others aware of the tax breaks for the rich that are occurring under Trump. It's not a Republican or Democrat issue so much as it is a Oligarchy issue. Trumps facade has his supporters all in head first, many of them don't even realize they aren't on the elite bus.

Us government have no authority by stealing tax payers money by overspending people's future money us will collapse

The sky is falling!! The sky is falling!! 😂😂😂

Trump ang extreme MAGA Republicans are destroying the American economy. Trump recession is coming blame Trump and Republicans for the crash.

America is almost like a bankrupt casino 🎰.

MAGA🇺🇸

THAT'S A GREAT SHIRT!!!

As a Canadian I’m happy to hear that the 351 billion that the Canadian government holds in US treasury bonds is now paying a higher yield. Our dollar is up 3%, our tourism industry is up, our overall trade with the US is down 6.6% but is up 25% with the EU. Having an economist as our Prime Minister is paying off

Second Great Depression 2026

Having mr. Bankrupt as president, what else did you expect. So called conservitive republicans are stealing from the poor to enRICH themselves. Period

Often overlooked in the conversation about running up trillions in debt (Trump 1.0 hiked it by 25% in just 4 years) to finance tax breaks for the über wealthy is the multiplier effect of interest costs as a percentage of GDP. This doesn't get past the institutional bond market.

If the U.S. didn't have 12 of the worlds 15 aircraft carriers, this party would of ended along time ago

This is what the majority voted for.

You know it doesn’t have to be this way?

But we’re making billions with the tariffs!

The most important thing everyone should think about right now is how to invest in different sources of income that are not dependent on the government. Especially given the current economic crisis around the world 🌍 . This is still a good time to invest in various stocks such as gold, silver and digital currencies. all thanks to Jason Coleman for coaching me✊

I am at the beginning of my "investment journey", planning to put 385K into dividend stocks so that I will be making up to 30% annually in dividend returns. any good stock recommendation on great performing stocks will be appreciated..

Woo, 217k ready to dive into the market! 😎 Treasury yields spiking? Pfft, just the market throwing a tantrum. I’m betting big on tech stocks anyway—yields can’t scare me! Anyone else riding this rollercoaster?

“The stock market crash of 1929 was (obviously) very bad. But it was not, on its own, enough to cause the Great Depres-sion. What turned the crash into a worldwide disaster was the gold standard and the profound instability that went with it.

To be fair, it wasn’t the gold standard alone that broke the world. It was helped along by the powerful institutions that were at the center of money, and that saw themselves as the guardians of the gold standard: central banks. In the United States, that meant the Federal Reserve.”

How much longer are investors gonna tolerate this roller coaster before they move out of the US market entirely?

The US has GDP of 2%p.a. (and shrinking) and Debt that is increasing at 10%p.a.
ANY COUNTRY WITH THOSE NUMBERS IS A BASKET CASE.
As Bond Yields rise, so do inflation and interest rates.
THE MORE DEBT YOU HAVE, THE MORE EXPOSURE YOU HAVE TO INTEREST RATE RISES.
As interest rates rise, the Government needs to suck more money out of the economy to meet its interest payments.
This year alone, more than $7T debt will fall due, and the US Govt will try to sell more debt to cover it (as they cannot afford to retire this debt) and they will pay triple the previous interest rate on new issuance.
As the Government tries to meet the higher interest costs, it takes more money out of the economy (further reducing GDP).
So you have a two edged sword of spiraling debt and interest rates coupled with a crippled GDP as the Government taxes and tariffs the economy to try to pay the interest.
There are some ways out, but all of them are horrific, and the longer it goes on, the worse it will be.

800-point drop? Treasury yields spiking? Feels like the economy’s cracking and we’re all just watching.
