The U.S. added $400 billion in debt in eight weeks while running a $1,993 billion deficit for fiscal 2026 — that's a fiscal trajectory incompatible with the Fed's 3.75-4.00% policy rate and 5.09% ten-year yield. Treasury is borrowing into a market that has repriced the cost of holding dollars up 27.57% year-over-year while the geopolitical premium keeps crude at $108 and gold still above $4,000 despite a 22% retreat from peak.
