Government bonds are bouncing back in value today after new Fed Chair Kevin Warsh spooked the market by hinting at interest rate hikes to fight inflation.

## Idea

Yesterday's panic selling of bonds was extreme based on the words of a brand-new Fed chair. Investors realizing that Warsh is serious about fighting inflation actually builds long-term credibility, prompting dip-buyers to return to the market today. If inflation does cool down as a result, the bonds that everyone just dumped will quietly rise in value.
