Bond yields surge past 5% — and nothing’s holding them back

Talks of trade deals and soft inflation aren’t enough anymore.
30-year yields are back above 5%, mortgage rates top 7%, and Powell’s sticking to “higher for longer.”

Even Trump and Bessent have reason to worry.

This is truly unprecedented:

UnitedHealth stock, $UNH, is now down ANOTHER -16% today, bringing 1-month losses to nearly -60%.

This is a Dow 30 component which just erased $400 BILLION of market cap in 1 month.

$UNH has now erased ~$18 billion of market cap PER TRADING DAY for the last month-straight.

As a result, the company has gone from being one of the top 15 largest public companies in the world to not even making the top 50 list.

Can it get any worse for UnitedHealth?

The selling pressure in UnitedHealth, $UNH, is almost unprecedented:

For the first time since 1998, a Dow 30 stock is down over -55% in 1 month.

The last time it happened?

Also $UNH in 1998, when the stock fell -55% in one month.

Not even 2008 or 2020 saw a Dow 30 component fall over -55% in a single month.

As a result, the daily RSI in $UNH just fell to 11 for the first time since 1998.

In other words, the daily RSI is now suggesting the stock is at its most oversold level in 27 years.

What will it take for a bottom?

Moody’s cuts U.S. credit rating to AA+ — should markets worry?

After markets closed on May 16, Moody’s became the third major agency to downgrade the U.S. long-term credit rating from AAA to AA+.
Traditional markets dipped ~1% in after-hours — a reflex rooted in 2011.

Back then, S&P’s first-ever downgrade triggered a panic selloff, with equities dropping up to 20% in the following months.
Why? Many contracts required AAA collateral — and Treasuries no longer qualified.

But things have changed.

Veteran analyst Jim Bianco explains:

In 2011, the fear was real — many derivatives, credit agreements, and mandates prohibited anything below AAA.
After that chaos, contracts were rewritten to refer simply to ‘U.S. government securities’ — not their rating.

When Fitch downgraded in 2023, markets barely flinched.
Moody’s move now makes the AA+ consensus unanimous — but it changes nothing mechanically.

No forced action, no shock to markets.
It’s symbolic — not structural.

The housing market has never been this unaffordable in U.S. history.

With inflation-adjusted home prices setting a record over the last three years.

We're now in the biggest housing bubble of all-time, and the only period that came close was 2006, before the big crash.

Many people like to tell you "home values will never drop". But those people conveniently don't show you this graph.

There is no historical precedent for how expensive today's housing market it is.

And homebuyers know it.
