[$$] U.S. Government Bond Prices Fall as Investors See Fed as More Hawkish
U.S. government bond prices fell Friday as investors speculated that the Federal Reserve may want to raise interest rates higher than previously expected. Treasury yields rose Friday as investors assessed recent comments from Fed officials that suggest the central bank could raise interest rates above the so-called neutral level -- a point when monetary policy no longer supports growth but isn’t yet restrictive. Minutes from the Fed’s September meeting released Wednesday showed that officials are debating whether they will need to raise interest rates to levels sufficient to slow down a fast-growing economy to prevent it from overheating.

What the Fed Minutes Didn't Say Is What Matters
At first sight, the minutes released Wednesday from the Sept. 25-26 meeting at which the Federal Open Market Committee agreed to raise their target for the federal funds rate by an additional quarter of a percentage point and continue with its established policy of quantitative tightening, or reducing its balance sheets assets, were a good case in point. The most interesting section of the minutes covered the issue of when the Fed should stop the hiking process and whether it should continue until rates are considered restrictive in that they restrain the economy, or stop when they are still neutral.

Brexit Used to Mean Brexit. What Does it Mean Now?
(Bloomberg Opinion) -- Theresa May won the U.K. premiership by saying that: “Brexit means Brexit.” This comment, along with some fratricidal maneuvers among the Brexiteers within her Conservative party, helped ensure that a politician who had supported staying in the European Union would be given the job of taking the U.K. out. But the continued Shakespearean bloodletting among the Brexiteers is getting in the way of working out what kind of a deal might be acceptable to those who have asked for it.Meanwhile the studied vagueness of “Brexit means Brexit” no longer sounds decisive. ...

Why Bond Yields Might Go Even Higher Than You Expected
The risks for bond investors may be higher than they realize. Higher inflation tends to drive up bond yields as investors demand higher returns to compensate them for anticipated declines in the purchasing power of their assets. Most bond investors are well aware of the inflation risk, but James Paulsen from Leuthold Group noted that one surprise factor could lift bond yields even higher than expected.

There's another big reason why Trump could blame the Federal Reserve for rising interest rates
President Trump has criticized the Fed for raising interest rates in a period of low inflation, but it's another Fed policy move that is helping drive interest rates higher. The Fed is unwinding its balance sheet, which ballooned during the financial crisis, and in the process is buying less Treasury securities, just as the federal government is issuing much more debt. The fact the Fed has stepped back as a buyer, combined with the increased debt issuance, has been a topic of discussion in the bond market as interest rates were on the rise this month.

Here's another theory for this week's market skid — the 'buyback blackout'
The rise in yields also makes higher equity valuation multiples less attractive because investors use U.S. government bond yields as their "risk-free" discount rate in financial models to value stock investments.
