Trump’s Screaming at the Fed and I Listened

Trump’s back on the Powell-bashing bandwagon, loudly calling for rate cuts.

Why?

The latest ADP report dropped a major red flag, with private payrolls adding only 37,000 jobs in May, the lowest since March 2023. 

Employment growth has stalled. And from where I sit, the warning signs keep piling up.

Retail sales have gone flat.

Manufacturing remains in contraction.

Moody’s downgraded treasury debt.

And tariff uncertainty will only add to the economy’s pile of woes.

But you don’t need a Ph.D. in economics to see what’s happening. 

And the Trump administration isn’t waiting around for the Fed to catch up with reality.

They have an ace up their sleeve.

It turns out that the Fed isn’t the only player that can buy bonds to lower rates. The U.S. Treasury Department can too.

And Treasury Secretary Bessent isn’t wasting time filling gaps in monetary policy that Powell seems more than happy to ignore.

He too can play the Big, Bad, Bond Buyer.

Here’s how…

The Big, Bad Bond Buyer

When the Fed wants to lower rates, it buys bonds and bills.

When it wants lower short-term rates, it buys bills through the FOMC, or Federal Open Market Committee.

When it wants lower long-term rates, that same FOMC buys bonds.

On Tuesday, it chose the former, executing the largest bill-buyback program ever.

It bought $10 billion in short-duration bills, plummeting rates and sending bond prices soaring.

I told you this could happen.

And heading into yesterday’s neck-breaking Treasury rally, my subscribers were perfectly positioned to capitalize.

Why Execution Matters 

Now, here’s where most people screw this up: They get the direction right, but they botch the execution.

Bonds may be on the move, but this isn’t the 1980s. 

You don’t just buy and hold a Treasury ETF and expect to crush it. 

You need to understand how to position your trade — especially with options — so you’re not stuck with dead capital or theta decay eating your lunch.

This is where gamma comes into play.

If you’ve been in my group for a while, you already know the drill. 

Gamma’s what determines how fast your delta (your exposure) shifts as price moves. 

In a market where bonds are snapping back, you want to be positioned to benefit from those aggressive rate shifts. 

This means knowing where to strike, how to size, and what to avoid.

If you don’t, you’re just guessing.

How to Survive Anything

I’ve traded through tech crashes, housing collapses, and more Fed pivots than I can count. 

I’ve never seen a bond setup quite like this, where economic data, political pressure, and policy decisions are all aligning in real time.

Bonds are telling the story before the market catches on.

If you want to sit on the sidelines, be my guest. 

But the real move’s already in play. 

And I’m not waiting around for Jerome Powell to make it official at the next FOMC meeting.

The opportunity’s now.
