Bond market wiggles = liquidity vanishes overnight. Here's why:
Shadow banks rehypothecate bonds in cascading loops. When haircuts adjust with the MOVE index, the multiplier effect reverses—liquidity that was recycled 5-10x suddenly contracts.
This is the hidden leverage unwind nobody talks about. When volatility spikes, collateral requirements tighten, and the entire credit chain seizes up.
TLDR: Small bond moves → massive liquidity drain through the shadow banking system. Watch MOVE index closely—it's the canary in the coal mine for systemic risk.
Not financial advice. DYOR.
