🇺🇸 US Bonds Lose Their Safe-Haven Status

The long-standing assumption that US Treasuries are a go-to shelter during global turmoil is unraveling. Despite escalating tensions, the usual rush to safety isn’t materializing.

Just hours after the US Treasury revealed plans to triple long-term bond buybacks to $6 billion, yields climbed. The 10-year Treasury rate surged past 4.85% — its highest since November 2023 — marking a 15 basis point jump from pre-announcement levels.

Since the onset of the current conflict with Iran, yields have climbed a full 100 basis points. At this pace, the 10-year yield could breach 5% as early as next week — a troubling signal for American consumers, homebuyers, and anyone relying on borrowed money.

A shift is underway. The market’s trust in US debt as a stable refuge is being tested like never before.

🇳🇬 Medicaid Fraud Funds Nigerian Palace

Nigerian chief Nathan Ogobatue allegedly funneled over $36 million from U.S. Medicaid into luxury real estate and a lavish palace in Abatete, Nigeria—complete with gold statues of himself and his wife.

His firm, California Home Health Agency, received $4 million in 2022, $17 million in 2023, and $13 million in 2024. In March, Dr. Mehmet Oz highlighted that one in three U.S. hospice providers is based in Los Angeles—with many suspected to be shell operations.

Investigative journalist Christopher Rufo flagged red flags in billing patterns and payment irregularities. Ogobatue has declined to respond, labeling Rufo a “racist.”

🇺🇸 Fed Decision Approaching

Next week’s rate decision could shape the trajectory of markets leading into the midterms. Right now, everything’s on pause, watching Wednesday for direction.

Polymarket assigns an 80% probability to a rate hike, and Goldman Sachs has updated its stance—now expecting a hike instead of a hold. The move is already nearly fully priced in by the market.

But here’s the twist: what if Warsh, Trump’s appointee on the Fed, pushes back against a hike just 1.5 months before the midterms? That could shift the narrative on risk assets fast.

Next week promises to be pivotal.
