A seismic U.S. Court of International Trade ruling has triggered a Treasury market selloff while exposing deepening fractures in U.S.-China relations, creating a perfect storm across global markets.

Market Fallout

• 30-year yield surges past 5% (+25 bps in 48 hours)
• 10-year yield leaps to 4.50% (from 4.40%)
• Dollar Index (DXY) spikes to 100 (up 2%) as haven flows accelerate

The Tariff Decision

The court ruled 5-2 that:
✓ Trump’s blanket 10% tariffs exceeded presidential authority
✓ Only Congress can impose economy-wide trade measures
✓ Sector-specific tariffs (steel/autos) remain intact
Administration officials confirmed an immediate appeal

Escalating Tech Cold War

Even as tariffs unwind, new fronts emerge:

• Tech Blockades: U.S. halts advanced chip design sales to China
• Export Controls: Jet-engine tech and semiconductor software banned
• Academic Decoupling: 5,000+ Chinese STEM student visas targeted for revocation

Market Paradoxes

• Bitcoin ($104,309) and gold stagnate despite dollar strength
• Yield curve steepens (30-10Y spread hits 50 bps)
• Asian currencies plunge (Offshore Yuan weakest since 2022)

What’s Next?

• 72-hour window for DOJ emergency stay on ruling
• June 15 deadline for China’s retaliatory measures
• Fed watch: Could bond volatility force Powell to adjust messaging?

“This isn’t just about tariffs anymore,” warns Kobeissi Letter analysts. “We’re seeing the financial system price in a full-scale economic bifurcation.”

“Judicial Shockwave: How a Tariff Ruling Unleashed the Treasury Market’s Worst Week Since 2022”
May 29, 2025

The U.S. bond market is experiencing its most violent repricing in three years after a federal court’s tariff ruling exposed four simultaneous crises:

The Quadruple Threat

1️⃣ Constitutional Crisis

• Court’s 5-2 decision guts “presidential emergency powers” doctrine
• Creates $280B regulatory vacuum for cross-border trade
• White House weighing emergency executive order

2️⃣ Yield Spike Accelerator

• 30Y Treasury rockets past 5% (up 38bps this week)
• 10Y breaches 4.50% as convexity hedging kicks in
• MBS duration sellers amplify moves

3️⃣ Tech War Escalation

• New “chip design embargo” hits 14 Chinese tech giants
• ASML reports U.S. pressure to cancel 2026 EUV deliveries
• SMIC stock plunges 22% in Hong Kong

4️⃣ Academic Iron Curtain

• 18 Chinese universities now on “red list” for visa revocations
• MIT severs 37 joint research projects
• Semiconductor PhD candidates face deportation

Market Dominoes

• DXY 100 breakout signals dollar shortage fears
• Gold/BTC divergence (BTC $104k flat vs gold’s $40 drop)
• Yield curve control rumors swirl at Treasury

The Hidden Fault Line
The ruling exposes a $1.2T problem:

• $800B in “tariff-aligned” supply chains now in limbo
• $400B in Treasury holdings at risk if China retaliates via UST sales

“This is the bond market’s first true stress test of the multipolar world,” warns former NY Fed president. “The playbook from 2018 won’t work this time.”
