Thursday's 10-year Treasury yield decline of 0.193 percentage point (to 4.952%) is the largest single day yield decline since March 10, 2023, which is the day Silicon Valley Bank failed.

About time. But one day too early for buyers at today’s TIPS auction

Today's 5-year TIPS auction got a real yield of 2.367%, good but not awe-inspiring. Auction investors got caught in a down-draft of Treasury yields ... tipswatch.com/2026/10/22/5-y…

Treasury's auction of a new 5-year TIPS got a real yield of 2.367%, caught in today's down-drift in yields. When-issued prediction was 2.36%, so demand was not stellar. Confusing day for the Treasury market.
US 5-Year TIPS Sale: - High Yield Rate: 2.367% (prev 1.955%) - Bid-Cover Ratio: 2.41 (prev 2.61) - Direct Accepted: 32.4% (prev 28.0%) - Indirect Accepted: 62.0% (prev 68.6%) - WI: 2.36%

I had a friend with a Toyota Avalon, a car you rarely see. Probably around a 2015. "Hey, this is really nice, what is this?" was my reaction.

It appears the U.S. Treasury market is now back to being the safe haven for turmoil in Europe.

Real yields are dropping fast this morning. Ahead of today's 5-year TIPS auction, the most recent 5-year is now yielding 2.45%, down about 7 basis points from yesterday. Lots of volatility pre-auction.

Thanks for the shout-out. I will be posting a preview of the rate change on Sunday. The composite rate will end up being 5.4% to 5.5%, very attractive.

This TIPS auction is really hard to predict, but the result will end up being attractive.

I was working in a newsroom that day. A wild time. Compares only to the Challenger explosion.

I understand your view, but I do think paying a dividend enforces some financial responsibility on a company and a commitment to shareholders.
