Manufacturing at its strongest in four years, yet the bond market chickened out—what is the market afraid of? Something truly surreal happened yesterday. The U.S. July ISM Manufacturing PMI came in at 55.6, its highest level since May 2022 and marking the seventh consecutive month of expansion. The three key indicators—new orders, production, and employment—all strengthened across the board. CME data shows the probability of the Federal Reserve raising rates by 25 basis points in September has surged to 67.2%. The data points to one clear conclusion: The economy is too hot—it is time to raise rates. But what happened? The 10-year U.S. Treasury yield fell, and so did the 30-year yield. Manufacturing data hit a four-year high, yet bond yields moved lower instead. Tell me, does that make sense? First, let’s discuss why the “thing that shouldn’t have happened” happened. On Monday, Trump announced the cancellation of a military strike against Iran, and U.S.-Iran negotiations resumed. Brent crude fell 5.2% in a single day, while WTI fell 6.2%. When oil prices fall, inflation expectations cool. The 10-year U.S. Treasury yield fell to 4.674%, while the 30-year yield fell to 5.225%. Just last week, the 30-year yield had briefly surged to its highest level since 2007. So the situation now is: On one hand—the ISM data says, “The economy is too strong; rates need to go up.” On the other hand—oil prices say, “Inflation is about to cool; don’t raise rates.” The bond market chose to trust oil prices, not the data. But that’s not all. There is another, more subtle force supporting the bond market. U.S. Treasury Secretary Bessent made a rare move last week, joining Japan to intervene in the yen exchange rate—the two countries’ first joint intervention in 15 years. More importantly, he publicly called on the Federal Reserve to expand the size of the FIMA repo facility. What is FIMA? Simply put, it allows Japan to use the U.S. Treasuries it holds as collateral to borrow money, rather than selling those Treasuries directly for cash. Japan holds $1.14 trillion in U.S. Treasuries, making it the world’s largest foreign holder of U.S. debt. If Japan were to dump U.S. Treasuries on a large scale to save the yen—wouldn’t the 30-year yield go through the roof? Bessent’s move was about defusing the bomb in advance. So, do you see it now? The ISM data is shouting, “Raise rates,” while oil prices and FIMA are shouting, “Don’t let yields rise too quickly.” The bond market is currently being pulled in three directions by three forces. Bitcoin briefly fell to $62,250 yesterday before rebounding past $64,000. The reason for the rebound? U.S.-Iran negotiations + the plunge in oil prices + falling U.S. Treasury yields—risk appetite briefly recovered. But you need to understand one thing: BTC’s pricing logic is no longer simply that of “digital gold.” It increasingly resembles a high-beta technology stock—far more sensitive to liquidity expectations than to inflation itself. And the current macro environment is: Economic data supports rate hikes → expectations of tighter liquidity Falling oil prices ease inflation → a brief window for respite U.S.-Japan intervention supports Treasuries → long-term rates are being artificially suppressed These three variables contradict one another, making it impossible for the market to form a unified expectation. That is why BTC is swinging sideways between $62,000 and $65,000—it is not directionless; all the directions are fighting one another. The ISM data tells you the economy is doing well, while the 67% rate-hike probability tells you liquidity is about to tighten. But the bond market tells you—don’t rush; geopolitics and central-bank intervention could tear up and rewrite the script at any moment. The current market is one where data and policy are fighting, while retail investors foot the bill. What you need to do is not guess the direction—it is figure out who is lying, who is providing support, and who is quietly defusing the bombs. Someone is buying BTC below $63,000. Someone is selling BTC above $65,000. Trading sideways is the most expensive strategy, but it is still better than moving recklessly. #Gate储备金率117% #Gate资产规模位列全球Top6 #Strategy再售1637枚BTC并回购STRC $BTC $ETH $SOL
