Wall Street’s worries about a ballooning deficit that threatens America’s status as a safe haven were reflected in a $16 billion Treasury sale that saw lackluster demand - with stocks, bonds and the dollar falling.


Treasuries got hit after a weak auction of 20-year bonds, whose 5% coupon rate was the highest since the tenor was reintroduced in 2020. Long-term debt bore the brunt of the selling, with 30-year yields jumping over 10 basis points. The equity market saw its worst session in a month, with the S&P 500’s slide topping 1.5%.

The greenback dropped against most major currencies. Bitcoin pared its advance, but was still set for a record.


Traders have been piling into bets that long-term bond yields would surge on concerns over the US’s swelling debt and deficits, with Moody’s Ratings on Friday lowering the nation’s credit score below the top triple-A level. For many, the message was: Unless America gets its finances in order, the perceived risks of lending to the government will rise.


The White House amped up the pressure on Republicans on Wednesday urging lawmakers to quickly approve President Donald Trump’s signature tax bill, adding that a failure to do so would be the “ultimate betrayal.”

Stocks Get Hit as Weak Treasury Sale Boosts Yields

Jennifer Grancio, head of ETFs at TCW, discusses investment options through ETFs amid market volatility and the trade war.

Wall Street’s rally took a breather on Tuesday, with stocks falling as traders awaited fresh catalysts after a six-day run that put the S&P 500 up almost 20% from its April lows. The US equity benchmark lost steam following an $8.6 trillion surge.

Long-term Treasury yields climbed as fractious US budget negotiations kept focus on the growth in deficit spending. President Donald Trump is growing frustrated with demands to significantly boost the cap on the state and local tax deduction, according to a senior administration official, signaling a deadlock as Republicans aim to quickly pass a giant tax-cut bill.

Elon Musk said he’s committed to still leading Tesla Inc. five years from now and expects to pare back his political spending, assuaging some investors’ concerns about the future of his most valuable company.

The billionaire offered new details about his plans in a wide-ranging interview with Bloomberg News that also touched on his compensation, Tesla’s sliding sales and a possible spinoff of SpaceX’s Starlink satellite business. Musk repeated his criticisms of a familiar cast of characters, from Bill Gates to the Delaware judge who’s twice ruled against his massive Tesla pay package.

Musk, whose $375.5 billion fortune leads the Bloomberg Billionaires Index, reiterated that he wants to own more shares of Tesla for reasons of authority, rather than wealth.

“It’s not a money thing,” he said during a remote appearance Tuesday at the Qatar Economic Forum in Doha. “It’s a reasonable control thing, over the future of the company.”

Musk has been chief executive officer of Tesla since 2008, one of the longest active stints atop the world’s largest automakers. His level of engagement with the company has come under greater scrutiny as the carmaker has followed up its first annual sales drop in over a decade with steeper declines early this year.

Musk, 53, downplayed the extent of Tesla’s challenges, saying that “it’s already turned around.” When pressed about this — the carmaker’s vehicle sales continued to plunge across Europe’s biggest electric vehicle markets in April — the CEO said that the region is the company’s weakest, but that it’s strong elsewhere.
