BOND EXPERT WARNS OF $110 BILLION SELLING SHOCK IF TREASURY YIELDS HIT 6%
Veteran bond strategist Harley Bassman warns of a βnightmare scenarioβ in U.S. Treasuries.
If the 20-year Treasury yield rises above 6%, futures-related hedging could trigger selling pressure equivalent to $110 billion in bond issuance.
The 20-year yield currently stands near 5.6%.
Bassman says negative convexity risks have reached levels not seen since 2007, potentially amplifying the Treasury selloff.

FED'S WILLIAMS SEES ONE MORE RATE HIKE IN 2026, NONE IN 2027
New York Fed President John Williams says one additional rate hike may be appropriate this year, but he currently sees no need for further increases in 2027.
Williams expects inflation to move closer to the Fed's 2% target next year as tariff and energy shocks fade.
He acknowledged AI-driven inflation pressures but said the broader economy is not overheating.
Markets currently price in a December hike and two more in 2027, making Williams' outlook notably less hawkish.

FED'S WILLIAMS: AI BOOM IS FUELING INFLATION, BUT ECONOMY IS NOT OVERHEATING
New York Fed President John Williams says AI infrastructure demand is pushing up chip prices, construction costs and inflation, with supply unlikely to catch up for several years.
Key takeaways:
* Rates: One more hike in 2026 may be appropriate; no additional hikes currently expected in 2027.
* Inflation: Expected to approach 2% in 2027.
* AI: Strong demand could keep chip prices elevated.
* Economy: Labor markets remain stable, with no broad overheating.
* Treasuries: Higher long-term yields are tightening borrowing conditions.
Williams expects AI productivity gains to eventually help reduce inflation.

U.S. DIESEL FUTURES SURGE 4.5% DESPITE TRUMP'S RUSSIAN FUEL DEAL
U.S. diesel futures jumped 4.5% to a two-week high, despite President Trump's agreement to suspend sanctions on Russian diesel exports.
Energy traders warn that the additional Russian supply is insufficient to meaningfully lower fuel prices.
Meanwhile, U.S. retail diesel averages $6.28 per gallon, near September's record of $6.53.
Lawmakers from both parties are also questioning the deal's legality.
