Ok what’s going on here?

Yields are going up which means bond prices are going down.
Fewer buyers of the world’s safest asset.

Normally when the economy slows, there’s a flight to safety, not away from it.

Front page of WSJ. Main headline says "Market Carnage Worsens." Right below it is headline saying "Trump Heads to Golf Club Amid Tariff Turmoil."

I often give MSM headline-writers/editors a hard time on framing of political news.

Trump administration ends "segregated facilities" ban in federal contracts The Civil Rights Act of 1964 still outlaws segregation in business, but the move is symbolic.
