05-19-2026 “Time Is Running Out” For The Bear Trend
——————
They wanted serfdom, bombs for destruction
They tried to give them up, but they’re addicted.
New data, coupled with unresolved peace deals, keep oil under pressure and Treasury yields and mortgage rates up. Iran’s situation has not changed. The terrorist regime wants to control its neighbors and drive Israelis into the sea with nuclear weapons.
The bear trend began, with the 10-year yield at 4.21. It’s now 4.60, with a gradual rate rise without a peace deal. But don’t be surprised when peace happens.
Iran’s time is running out
You can’t push Oil underground
You can’t sell it streaming out.
These views are mine. Join TMSpotlight to see how oil news changes rates.
