  • How Treasury Volatility Is Reshaping Corporate Debt

    With the ten-year Treasury yield climbing to nearly five percent and short-term rates holding steady, the cost of borrowing for corporations has shifted dramatically. We break down how this specific spread is forcing companies to rethink their capital structure, moving away from long-term fixed debt toward shorter durations or equity raises. The result is a quiet but significant change in how businesses manage risk in late 2026.

  • Why Your Bank Savings Beat The Bond Market

    With the ten-year Treasury yield hovering near five percent and short-term funds under pressure, everyday savers are finding a strange anomaly: their high-yield savings accounts are outperforming many bond investments. We look at the mechanics behind this inversion, why the spread between deposit rates and Treasury yields has narrowed to just thirty basis points, and what that means for your cash allocation in September 2026.

  • Why Bond Yields Are Spiking Without a Fed Rate Hike

    With the ten-year Treasury yield climbing to 4.83 percent while the Federal Reserve holds rates steady at 3.63 percent, something else is driving bond prices down. Lucas and Luna explore the disconnect between short-term policy and long-term market sentiment. They examine how inflation expectations, supply dynamics, and global demand shifts are reshaping fixed income valuations in September 2026, and what this divergence means for investors holding longer-dated debt.

  • The Bond Market's Silent Squeeze on Middle Managers

    With the ten-year Treasury yield sitting near four point eight percent and the thirty-year rate above five percent, the cost of capital has shifted from a macro headline to a daily operational headache. This episode examines how rising long-end rates are squeezing middle-market companies that rely on floating-rate debt and short-term credit lines. We look at the specific mechanics of why refinancing is becoming expensive right now, even as the Federal Reserve holds the overnight rate steady. Lucas and Luna break down the disconnect between policy rates and market reality, focusing on the hidden costs facing small business owners and regional banks in September 2026.

  • The Bond Market's New Middle Ground

    The five-year Treasury yield is quietly becoming the most important number in fixed income. We explore why investors are flocking to the intermediate curve as short rates stay trapped near three point six percent and long yields hover above five percent. With the ten-year-two-year spread at forty-one basis points, the middle of the road offers a unique balance of duration risk and carry that neither the Fed nor the bond market can ignore. This episode breaks down the mechanics of the five-year note, how it serves as a proxy for Fed policy expectations, and why your mortgage or corporate debt decisions are now anchored here.

  • The Real Cost of Your Savings Account

    We look at why your high-yield savings rate feels so low when the ten-year Treasury yield sits near four point seven seven percent. Lucas and Luna break down the hidden markup banks charge on deposits versus what they earn on Treasuries, using the current three-point-six-three percent Fed Funds rate as a baseline. It is not about bad actors; it is about structural margins that are widening as short-term rates stay trapped. If you have cash sitting in a standard checking account, this episode explains exactly where that money goes and why the spread matters more than you think.

  • Why Short Rates Are Trapped at 3.6 Percent

    With the Fed Funds rate stuck at 3.63 percent and short-term yields hovering near 3.76, we examine why the shortest end of the yield curve has lost its momentum despite inflation cooling. Lucas and Luna break down the mechanics of Interest on Reserve Balances, the disconnect between market expectations and central bank reality, and what this flat spot means for your savings account versus institutional balance sheets.

  • The Silent Squeeze in Short-Term Bond Funds

    Short-term Treasury funds like SHY are holding steady near eighty-one dollars while the two-year yield sits at forty-three cents above the ten-year. We explore why investors are flocking to the belly of the curve despite rising long-end yields, and what that shift tells us about the market's view of inflation and central bank policy heading into the final quarter of twenty-twenty-six.

  • Why Your Savings Rate Doesn't Match The Market

    The disconnect between the Fed Funds rate and what you actually earn on savings accounts is widening. We look at how banks are using Net Interest Margin to protect profits while holding deposit rates steady, even as Treasury yields fluctuate around 4.78 percent. It is a lesson in friction costs and why your cash feels like it is working harder than it looks.

  • The Silent Squeeze in Short-Term Bond Funds

    With the three-month Treasury yield holding near 3.92 percent and the Fed Funds rate flat at 3.63 percent, short-duration bond funds like SHY are facing a unique pressure test. Lucas and Luna break down why investors chasing safety in ultra-short Treasuries are seeing their yields lag behind money market alternatives, and what this quiet divergence means for portfolio construction as we move through September 2026.

About The Bond Market Podcast with Fexingo: Treasuries, Yields, and Fixed Income for Beginners

From the publisher's feed

Lucas and Luna cut through the noise of the fixed-income market every day on The Bond Market Podcast with Fexingo. This is not a show about predicting the next Fed cut or chasing yield — it is a methodical, data-grounded conversation about the mechanics of Treasuries, corporate bonds, and the yield curve. Lucas, a former bond trader turned journalist, brings the institutional perspective: what the belly of the curve is telling us, why duration risk matters now, and how repo market stress reveals hidden leverage. Luna, a macro strategist with a talent for making the arcane accessible, asks the questions that turn a Bloomberg screen into a story. Together they walk through real price action — steepeners, bull flatteners, credit spreads — without jargon for jargon's sake. Each episode is built around a single theme: the liquidity profile of an ETF, the tax implications of munis, the math behind a corporate debt restructuring. The listener comes away not with a tip but with a framework. By the time the closing bell rings, you will understand why a two-year note moved three basis points — and why that matters more than most headlines. Can you read a yield curve? After this show, you won't just read it — you'll know what it's saying.
