Is the unpopularity of short-term government bonds due to concerns about imminent interest rate cuts, leading to inflows into stocks, cash, and gold? We hope to see a shift to long-term bonds as well! Also, while consumer confidence index dipped below 100 last month, it reached 102 this time! However, the chart is slowly declining.

It's important not to panic, perhaps a little more time is needed before signaling an interest rate cut 🤔
