Yields are going higher - the 5 was under the 2 - the 10 yr 2.74 was only one Fed hike away from inversion and the 2 was 8 pips away from the Fed Funds level // meanwhile the real rate was negative out to the 10
The Fed was responsible for turmoil because it ignored the market and hiked - OR the President was responsible because he wanted to fire the guy who raised the rates that upset the market which would result in lower rates next year - OR (fill in other usual suspects)_____________

Two days after a very ugly 2Y Treasury auction on Monday (which preceded a flash crash in 2Y yield just ahead of the bond market closure on Christmas Eve), which prompted us to note that "the bond market is sending a worrying signal", moments ago the Treasury sold $41 billion in 5Y notes in what could only be called an abysmal auction as the bond market has just sent an even more worrying signal.
The auction, which priced at a high yield of 2.652%, or 23 bps below the November auction's 2.88%, tailed the When Issued by a massive, if not record 2.3bps, the widest tail going back for over 3 years.
