[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The dollar has dropped YTD, but so has the yield on the 10 year Treasury. There are too many other variables to make a correlation.

Regardless of the dollar, given all the deficit spending past/present/future, rates should rise, but they are dropping across the entire yield curve, 10 year recent peak was 10/23 at 5%.

When investors lose confidence in America, they stop investing in America. International investors do not view the US as a reliable or stable partner for trade and commerce.  They also stop buying bonds and dollar-backed securities and their value decreases.  That affects interest rates, that causes the value of the dollar to decrease, and so on.  The dollar's value has already dropped 10% since the beginning of the year. And, this is the doing of Trump and the Republicans.  Meanwhile we create openings for China and others.  We are doing Xi and Putin's work for them.[/quote] Nice speech, but the 10 yr yield has dropped from 4.57 to 4.41% YTD over the same period the dollar had dropped, so someone is showing up at the auctions to buy new issues. And, not saying T engineered this somehow. Personally, I think the yield should be higher, given all the debt.
