Bonds Feedback: I don’t think so. Treasury bonds have to mature. I don’t think you can sell them before that.
Bonds Feedback: Sell offs in the bond market can occur when the middle class has to sell assets in order to make mortgage or debt payments. The shaky housing market could create this scenario. The stock market can also drop because of middle class financial struggles. The more the middle class struggles the more volatile markets become. Unemployment rates also affect the middle class disproportionately. Whenever you want to know how the economy is doing, always look at the middle class. They are the bread and butter of any economy.
