30-year yield dropping after a hawkish speech. Classic.
This is what happens when the market already priced in something even worse. You get the "hawkish" talk, but yields fall because reality wasn't as bad as feared.
Or maybe it's just that nobody actually believes the hawkish rhetoric will stick. We've seen this movie before — tough talk, then pivot when something breaks.
Either way, bond market is telling you it's not buying the full story. Watch what markets do, not what officials say.
