Bernanke Warns Tuesday June 14:

"Even a short suspension of payments on principal or interest on the Treasury's debt obligations could cause severe disruptions in financial markets and the payments system," he told a budget conference.

He further indicates that inaction could also "create fundamental doubts about the creditworthiness of the United States, and damage the special role of the dollar and Treasury securities in global markets in the long term,"


10 Year Note Yields Back Over 3.00% Briefly

Grecian 2 Year Yields 30% (BE Forewarned With FF4!! High Risk!!)

Comments:

It's no wonder this is a roller coaster ride! U.S. Debt ceiling, China, Greece, just to point out a few of the issues. I'd like to point out the importance of the unrest in Southern China. The region is where they export their goods. With manufacturers now feeling the pains of Japan's inability to produce and export to the U.S. this situation could just add to those concerns. Both problems at once may affect U.S. production in many industries. As we look toward other producers for materials it can drive up costs. Can that be passed along to the consumer in a sluggish economy? My guess is no. The FOMC announcement and press conference is bound to be very interesting. Many traders are looking for commodities to work lower.  

Trade Wisely and With Care ... Pete
