When the long bonds sold off on yield triggers money wasn't going into Treasuries. (Maybe a fair bit into shorter term Treasuries, but not that much!)
Money drained out of Equities.
Out of gold & silver.
Out of the Euro & into the $USD and crude oil.
(Interesting to see those both up at the same time.)
It didn't go into any of the market sectors.
Some into commodities & ag.
That was a lot of cash just to "hide" somewhere for the afternoon.
Any ideas?
