    Currently low volume. Figured it would be higher on a day like today. More Fed rate cuts in the future, though. Likely this month. What to do?

    Maybe low volume because no one wants to buy bonds that pay less than the inflation rate?

    Incredible- take a look at Treasury Interest rates today- the entire line of T-bills is INVERSE up to the one-year mark- where the one-year is now at 0.39%.

    Wow.

    So, would you trust (F) at this point?

    Breakdown. All bonds getting killed.

    Not sure about AGG, but Total US Bond Market ETF (BND) is down 8.5% over the past 3 days, its largest 3-day decline ever. Prior record was Oct 8-10 in 2008.

    Anyone know if today's F-fund drop is a one day record?

    Hi Exnavyew, Looks like 10-10- 2008 holds the record at -6.84% for a single day drop. But looks like this week (Monday to Thursday) could be one of the deepest quick consecutive day drop (total of -6.59)..Its ugly! But I noticed that TSP F fund only recorded a drop of .84% as opposed to the 4% AGG drop. That is void for those that are still in F Fund. Something's going on... That is why I exited fully yesterday and day before... I exited 50% on Tuesday when 3-day EMA started to cross below 5-day EMA...should have exited fully. Then the remaining 50%on Wednesday.

    FWIW:


    Negative rates come to the US: 1-month and 3-month Treasury bill yields are now below zero
