Feb 9, 2026Declining U.S. Bond Rate
America is in peril, as can be seen by the deckining US bond rate. The Bollinger bands have pinched at 115 and the question is, in which direction will the bonds move? The precious metals crowd is hoping for a drop but the government of America is praying for a rise.
Not too long ago (Nov 12, 2025) the New York Federal Reserve President John Williams announced that the Fed will begin a process of quantitative easing by buying their own bonds and other assets that the Fed believes are interest positive for the country. The bond rate has dropped since then by three percent, meaning yields have risen. The qustion has now become, what can America do to restart their economy and encourage foreign investment.
With bitcoin reaching new lows some capital must be working its way back into treasuries but it doesn't appear so. The last month has seen treasuries hover around 115 and even dip to 113 during intraday trading. So, what can America do? For starters, they can stop advertising their position with tariffs.
They are creating the doubt in their own economy by abusing a tool that has brought in only 287 billion dollars in the last year, up 192%. However, the debt is increasing at 1 trillion dollars every 71 days (as returned from a google search) so, really, the tariffs do nothing but alienate America. The Americans need good public relations and they are not getting it. As Donald Trump has stated that America needs Greenland for national security because of it's mineral wealth, only revealing the depletion of American reserves. As long as Trump is in power, the American bond rate may remain depressed, but I have been wrong before - check out my prediction for silver.
