If the debt ceiling dispute triggers an abrupt risk-off in financial markets, the Federal Reserve will then resume quantitative easing, as the Bank of England did in September, said Bank of America chief investment strategist Michael Hartnett in a recent report. 
Cracks are emerging in the bond market, showing growing investor anxiety over the debt ceiling standoff, as one-month T-bill yields surged to over 5.5% and one-year insurance costs against a U.S. default — commonly known as credit default swap (CDS) — hit a record high of 177 points. 
On Tuesday, Benzinga highlighted how the cost of insurance against the default of a five-year U.S. Treasury rose to the highest since 2009. 
The yield on a U.S. Treasury bill maturing in one month soared to 5.69% Friday, up 18 basis points in a day, and surging to the highest ever with data going back to 2002.  |
