10-27-2026 “Natural” Europeans Pay Higher Energy Costs

Will Bulls hold the line?

When everyone of them have given up and given in? Tell me. Is it asinine?

Who is sillier? Ursula von der Leyen, Friedrich Merz or Emanual Macron? The coalition of the willing is heading Europe’s economic quest to slay the Russian windmills in Don Quixote fashion. As a result, Europeans pay ever-higher energy costs.

Reporting from behind enemy lines, their folly supports lower rates in the US. So, it’s easier to see 4.90 rather than 5.35 again this year in the 10-year yield.

These views are mine. See how Bonds are cold naturally at TMSpotlight.com.

You gotta be so cold
You are a natural.
