• World's biggest bond market hits a wave of selling

• Global bonds at the mercy of Treasuries in an echo of 2020 debt sell-off

• Treasury-bond collapse ranks among the worst crashes in history

Bloomberg has reported losses on Treasury bonds with maturities of 10 years or more had notched 46% since March 2020, while the 30-year bond had plunged 53%. 

Those losses are nearly in line with stock-market losses seen during the worst crashes of recent history — when equities slumped 49% after the dot-com bubble burst and 57% in the aftermath of 2008.

In this podcast episode, we attempt to step out of the hysteria, re-examine what caused this move and look at the effects it may have on US/European banks, debt markets, pension funds, and the private equity community.
