Just to give the other side of the arguement, even in deflation, if China does register negative growth in Q4 and the finances of the petrostates continue to crumble, those nations might have less with which to buy US Treasuries after trying to stimulate their own economies.
Then again, the Fed might start to monetize aggressively at that point. So who knows?

It is a money-making opportunity. But the amount of money you can make without extreme leverage is low.
Let’s say you short $1000 worth of 10-year bonds today, and, one month later, the yield goes to 5%. Market value of bonds you shorted drops to $810.

I am mainly day trading now because I don’t like holding any position overnight. I am hoping the VIX will come down significantly so I can load up on long dated puts. GL to all. Play with money you can afford to lose. I am tired of hearing about people blowing up their accounts with money that they couldn’t lose. This market is a casino at this point and you shouldn’t treat it as anything else.
