    Why would you lower supply when you could do the same by raising rates?
    Your just talking mumbo jumbo now.

    Investors again rushed for the safety of government bonds and dumped stocks on Wednesday, exacerbating the August exodus away from risk assets as traders around the world settled in for a U.S.-China trade war without an end in sight.


    The flight to safety sent the yield on the 10-year Treasury note — used as a benchmark for mortgage rates and auto loans — falling to a low of 1.595%, the lowest since autumn 2016. The yield on the 30-year Treasury bond bottomed around 2.12%, near its all-time low reached in 2016. Yields pared some of their declines later in the session, but held steady near multiyear lows.

    I attempted to explain to you there are two sides to an equation, you obviously do not get it. Continue to believe whatever you read on CNBC and follow the rest of the sheep into the financial abyss.
