The bond market has been on a roller coaster ride this year. Here are 3 predictions for what comes next.

Bond yields have swung wildly in the first six months of Trump's presidency. The roller coaster ride for yields has stemmed from concerns about tariffs and US debt. Strategists at SocGen said are eyeing developments ahead for the bond market. It's been a volatile year so far for the bond market, with deficit fears, tariff tantrums, and skittishness about foreign buyers, but there are still fresh developments ahead that could shake things up, Societe Generale said. Strategists pointed to the handful of fits US bond investors have thrown so far this year, largely stemming from concern about President Donald Trump's tariff agenda and fears over the rising budget deficit in the US. The worry is both that tariffs will raise inflation, which will keep interest rates high, and that the national debt is scaling to an unsustainable level. Both possibilities are making investors less willing to hold onto US Treasury bonds unless the government offers more attractive yields. "The first six months of the Trump administration have rattled bond markets, putting pressure on the long end of yield curves," strategists wrote in a note on Friday. "A shift away from long bonds and dollar assets could continue, but this will not be a straightforward process." Here are three things the bank sees coming next for the bond market. The bond market could see a wave of new Treasurys being issued as the government borrows more money and the Fed continues quantitative tightening, a practice that reduces the amount of US government bonds held by the central bank. Congress is expected to lift the federal debt ceiling sometime in August. Once the ceiling is raised, the Treasury Department will need to build back its account by issuing more nominal coupons, with it likely picking up the pace of issuance by February of next year, SocGen strategists estimated. If the debt ceiling isn't lifted, the Treasury General Account could be "totally exhausted" by October, per SocGen's projection. Investors, meanwhile, have appeared more cautious on Treasurys recently. Demand at the most recent 20-year government bond auction was weaker than expected, and foreign participation was the lowest in five years, according to Bank of America. "Rising debt and QT will continue to flood the markets with bonds," the SocGen strategists wrote. "There is appetite, but a shift away from long bonds and dollar assets is becoming apparent." SocGen fleshed out several scenarios for what could happen to the 2-year and 10-year US Treasury yields over the next four quarters. Here are the bank's forecasts for the 2-year and 10-year yields by the end of the fourth quarter of 2025: Scenario Description 2-year yield 10-year yield Base Case The Fed eases its policy modestly and cuts rates twice by the end of the year. 3.75% 4.25% Bull Case The Fed cut rates aggressively as it sees fundamentals in the economy deteriorating. 3.25% 4.00% Bear Case The Fed keeps rates restrictive in response to sticky inflation. 3.90% 4.60% Across all scenarios, yields will remain well above where they were five years ago. US stablecoins, which are backed by reserves of liquid assets such as short-term Treasurys, could help lift demand for government bonds. Assets under management by stablecoin issuers are around $234 billion, reflecting a 74% increase from 2023, SocGen said. That number is expected to increase to $2 trillion by the end of 2028, according to an estimate from the Treasury Borrowing Advisory Committee. Stablecoins were also the third-largest buyer of US T-bills in 2024, behind JPMorgan's government money market fund and China. "A plausible, though highly uncertain, scenario is for stablecoins to absorb approximately 20% of expected net bill issuance over the next three years," SocGen strategists said. In a previous note, Bank of America estimated that each $1 vested in stablecoins by traditional banks could represent $0.90 in additional demand for US Treasurys. The bank said demand from stablecoin issuers could be a future source of volatility for the Treasury market.

In a Global Storm, Markets Reward Indifference

Amid the geopolitical and economic maelstroms of 2025, diversified investors may end up remembering the first six months for something altogether less dangerous or dramatic. In the face of bloody conflicts stretching from Europe to the Middle East and Africa, a chaotic trade war and America's deepening domestic crises, the year has still managed to see the strongest stretch of synchronized market gains in years. Rather than spelling a slow-motion disaster for bulls, months of whiplash across equities, fixed income and commodities have rewarded strategic indifference while punishing overconfidence. Strategies that spread risk across assets are outperforming by near-historic margins, a shift from the concentrated bets that favored the likes of Big Tech stocks in recent years.

CarMax Stock Jumps After Tariffs Boost Used-Car Demand

CarMax (KMX, Financials) shares surged more than 6% Friday morning after the company posted better-than-expected first-quarter earnings, driven by the fastest growth in used-vehicle sales since 2021. Warning! GuruFocus has detected 4 Warning Signs with KMX. The company's performance comes amid a shift in consumer behavior following the imposition of new auto tariffs by President Donald Trump in March.
