So great to be with you, Kai.

Thanks for having me on.

So long term yields are different from the kind of policy rate that the Fed sets, right?

So when we have a Fed meeting, the Fed sets short term interest rates.

Long term interest rates are very different because they incorporate risk premium.

Of course, thirty years, as you said in your intro, that's a very long horizon.

So financial markets over that long horizon, price risk, premium for inflation, for policy uncertainty, for the amount of debt that you have.

And so what we've seen the last couple of days and honestly over the past year is that these long term yields have risen massively.

Most of all in places that are highly indebted or andor politically dysfunctional, so places like Japan.

France, the UK, Italy, and of course also the United States.

So Kyle, I think you're totally right.

There's many things that are driving what's been going on lately.

If you look

At when did long term yields start to rise?

Big time in the most recent episode that we're seeing right now, it was after the most recent Fed meeting.

So that was on July twenty ninth.

The Federal Reserve kept rates on hold.
