Foretold here and posted on this site. I'm watching high yield bonds for an entry point. This move has nothing to do with the reality of the the USA/world economy. This move may go on until after the state of the union speech.That after what occurred in Treasuries yesterday. The rout in Treasuries since their most recent bottom (BREXIT) would qualify as a major rout in so short of a time.


Exactly and why I would never ever buy a bond ETF.It's pretty wild, so I had to doublecheck this on the Powershares site after seeing it on M*: PCY (US$) and LEMB (local currency) both fell in price today ~ 2x the drop in the IIV, resulting in very wide discounts, for etf's.
Here's PCY, discount now of 1.9%, and here's LEMB, discount of 3.4%. From the charts a little way down from the top of the M* page, it looks like these may be the widest discounts ever for both.
Note also the very large trading volume.
Edit: Junkster mentioned HYD - same thing going on there, too.
Looks like some panicky selling happening ... or maybe several big players adjusting allocations at the same time for the new national order? You'd have to bet EM oef's will be down much less than the etf's today.
