Bond market just flipped the script — now it fears weak growth more than sticky inflation.

2-year yield near 4.15 percent. This is the front end where Fed rate bets live.
10-year yield near 4.41 percent. Longer money also buying bonds.
Dollar index rising strong while gold and oil slide. Tech and risk assets feel the pressure.
This combo means traders worry growth is slowing faster than expected.
Falling oil can mean two things: good (less inflation) or bad (weak demand). Market leaning toward bad right now.
Liquidity tightening. People want cash and safe Treasuries instead of leveraged bets.
Private credit and riskier stuff start looking shaky when dollar squeezes and yields fall this way.
Front end blinking red. Fed can talk tough but market prices possible policy mistake if economy cracks.
