I believe the U.S. is a major exporter of oil now. It occurred to me that a spike in oil prices may have a net effect in reducing the U.S.'s trade deficit a bit.
Thanks again, Gregory. I think we are and have been in trouble for quite a long time. One better start getting back some old Silver sound money coins last used in the 1960s.
I think this bond sell off really took off when President Trump called for negative rates. Besides China, Japan(which is currently the largest debt holder due to china selling) actually mentioned selling US debt due to fear of weak US dollar and I think that fear is picking up greatly in the current environment.
I think if Trump really pushes for negative rates/weaker dollar, this bond sell off will probably continue unless FED surprises us then maybe a bounce/pull back first.
As for the uncontrolled big bond sell off, what would be the reason for that? Curious if there are other events needed to take place before that happens to warn us, as that is quite concerning if it just happens at a seemingly random time
Greg,

Have a great and profitable week!
Steem on,
