Bond Market Game Theory
March 22, 2022
By Craig Hemke
… But what if that chart above alsoreveals a steady selling pressure from sovereign holders of U.S. treasuriesnow that the U.S. has openly displayed a willingness to use its reserve currency status as a weapon? Put it this way…If you're China or some other country whose long-term interests may not entirely align with what the U.S. likes and wants, would you be willing to continue with the current status quo of holding dollars and treasuries in your foreign currency reserves?…
What if, instead, long rates do not stop rising as the U.S. economy slows? What if sovereign selling pressure in the bond market continues and increases in the months ahead. Longer treasury rates are getting very close to a breakout point. What kind of accelerated selling might materialize if the trend shown below is decisively broken?
As detailed above, the expectation is for long-term rates to reverse and head lower, leading to an inversion of the yield curve. Again, though, what if they don't? What if the current selling pressure in treasuries continues and the yield on the 10-year note rises through 3.00% and then moves to 4.00% and beyond? If you don't think this is possible, then you need to stop reading right now and listen to that Williams-Gromen podcast before you continue.

If we are in the early stages of a new multi-polar monetary system, the imposition of a "Powell Put" for the bond market will have to be much sooner and much greater than anyone in the financial punditry world is currently considering. As total U.S. debt continues to soar—with new issuance and refunding in the trillions—lower rates and sovereign buyers are a necessity. What if, in this brave new world, Powell's Fed ultimately becomes the U.S. treasury buyer of last resort?…
So, as we wrap up, what does this mean for you, the precious metals investor? It meansyour physical metal is about to get even more valuable.Unless you're looking for a dip to buy, the day-to-day price changes actually become somewhat meaningless. All that really matters is that you've got your metals and no one can take them from you…

Semiramis (/səˈmɪrəmɪs, sɪ-, sɛ-/;[1] Syriac: ܫܲܡܝܼܪܵܡ Šammīrām, Greek: Σεμίραμις, Arabic: Semíramis, Armenian: Շամիրամ Šamiram) was the mythological[2][3] Lydian-Babylonian[4][5] wife of Onnes and Ninus, who succeeded the latter to the throne of Assyria,[6] as in the fables of Movses Khorenatsi.[7] Legends narrated by Diodorus Siculus, who drew primarily from the works of Ctesias of Cnidus,[8][9] describe her and her relationships to Onnes and King Ninus, a mythical king of Assyria not attested in the far older and more comprehensive Assyrian King List.
According to Diodorus, a first century BC Greek historian, Semiramis was of noble parents, the daughter of the fish-goddess Derketo of Ascalon in Assyria and of a mortal. He related that Derketo abandoned her at birth and drowned herself and thatdovesfed the child until Simmas, the royal shepherd, found her. Semiramis married Onnes or Menones, a general under King Ninus, and she became an advisor to king.
Legends describing Semiramis have been recorded by approximately 80 ancient writers including Plutarch, Eusebius, Polyaenus, Valerius Maximus, Orosius, and Justinus.[25] She was associated with Ishtar and Astarte since the time before Diodorus.[13] The association of the fish anddoveis found at Hierapolis Bambyce (Mabbog, now Manbij), the great temple that according to one legend, was founded by Semiramis,[26] where her statue was shown with agolden doveon her head
