Something's shifting in the bond market, with a new wave of unease creeping in, and some of Wall Street's most experienced voices observing a sombre silence.
What Happened: On Wednesday, Spencer Hakimian, the founder of Tolou Capital Management, shared a post on X highlighting a growing consensus among the world&#8217;s leading fixed income traders that U.S. Treasuries are no longer the safe bet that they once were.
According to the screenshot of the Bloomberg article shared by Hakimian, large fixed income operators, such as DoubleLine Capital, Pacific Investment Management Co. (PIMCO), and TCW Group, are all backing away from long-dated U.S. government bonds. 
See Also: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/politics/25/06/45898797/trump-and-jd-vance-push-fed-to-slash-interest-rates-after-mild-inflation-report-calling-current-policy-monetary-malpractice">Trump And JD Vance Push Fed To Slash Interest Rates After Mild Inflation Report, Calling Current Policy &#8216;Monetary Malpractice&#8217;</a>
They're instead opting for shorter-term Treasuries, citing escalating federal debt and interest-rate risks, highlighting deepening anxiety in the U.S. fiscal trajectory. 
While sharing the screenshot, Hakimian writes, &#8220;The best bond traders in the world telling you straight up to stop buying bonds,&#8221; adding that it&#8217;s because &#8220;our country is bankrupt,&#8221; and no one is bold enough to fix it.

In another post on X, just a few minutes before this one, Hakimian highlights the growing U.S. entitlement spending, which he says is going up 15% year-over-year. &#8220;No one cares,&#8221; he says, adding that neither party can implement a solution, as &#8220;we&#8217;re selling bonds into oblivion.&#8221;
&#8220;Our currency has lost all its value against real currencies like Gold and Bitcoin,&#8221; he says, while saying that the U.S. is headed right into the &#8220;graveyard of failed empires&#8221; because of this problem. Hakimian concludes by saying, &#8220;invest accordingly.&#8221;

Why It Matters: Several experts and economists have raised concerns regarding America&#8217;s fiscal trajectory, especially in-light of President Donald Trump&#8217;s &#8220;One Big, Beautiful Bill,&#8221; which is expected to make it worse.
Former Treasury Secretary Lawrence Summers recently called the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/05/45686699/larry-summers-issues-stark-warning-the-big-beautiful-bill-is-actually-a-prescription-for-deadly-dangerous-decline">bill a prescription for</a> &#8220;deadly, dangerous decline,&#8221; while calling it a setup for a potential &#8220;Liz Truss moment,&#8221; referring to the former British Prime Minister&#8217;s short reign, which was upended by turmoil in the bond market.
Even Trump-ally, Elon Musk, has come out in <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/05/45635854/elon-musk-disappointed-with-trumps-big-beautiful-bill-says-it-undermines-the-work-that-the-doge-team-is-doing">criticism of the bill</a>, saying that it "undermines the work" that the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) has been doing under his leadership.

Etsy, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ETSY#NASDAQ">ETSY</a>), which operates two-sided online marketplaces that connect millions of passionate and creative buyers and sellers around the world, today announced the pricing of $650 million aggregate principal amount of 1.00% convertible senior notes due 2030 (the "notes") in a private placement to qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933,&nbsp;as&nbsp;amended&nbsp;(the&nbsp;"Securities&nbsp;Act").&nbsp;Etsy also granted the initial purchasers of the notes an option to purchase, within a 13-day period beginning on, and including, the date on which the notes are first issued, up to an additional $50 million aggregate principal amount of notes.&nbsp;The sale of the notes is expected to close on June 16, 2025, subject to customary closing conditions.
The notes will be general unsecured obligations of Etsy and will accrue interest payable semiannually in arrears on June 15 and December 15 of each year, beginning on December 15, 2025, at a rate of 1.00% per year. The notes will mature on June 15, 2030, unless earlier converted, redeemed or repurchased. The initial conversion rate will be 11.6570 shares of Etsy's common stock per $1,000 principal amount of notes (equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately $85.79 per share). The initial conversion price of the notes represents a premium of approximately 42.5% over the last reported sale price of Etsy's common stock on June 11, 2025. The notes will be convertible into cash, shares of&nbsp;Etsy's common stock or a combination of cash and&nbsp;shares of&nbsp;Etsy's&nbsp;common&nbsp;stock,&nbsp;at&nbsp;Etsy's election.&nbsp;
Etsy estimates that the net proceeds from the offering will be approximately $639.3 million (or approximately $688.5 million if the initial purchasers exercise their option to purchase additional notes in full), after deducting the initial purchasers' discount and estimated offering expenses payable by Etsy. Etsy expects to use approximately $150.0 million of the net proceeds from the offering to repurchase shares of Etsy's common stock as described below, and the remainder of the net proceeds from the offering for general corporate purposes, which may include the repayment or repurchase, at or prior to maturity, of our existing debt securities.

The Program includes the establishment of a temporary exploration airstrip, expansion of the exploration accommodation camp facilities by 373 beds and site access road improvements.
The Program will commence in the coming weeks and conclude with camp commissioning in Q1 2026. This program builds on NexGen's disciplined, strategic approach to implementing infrastructure enhancements required to support the Company's exploration programs at PCE and that forecast across NexGen's dominant land package in northwestern Saskatchewan into the future.
The drill results of high-grade basement hosted mineralization discovered at PCE 3.5km east from the Arrow deposit indicate another significant scale zone "Arrow style" of mineralization is materializing and warrant these infrastructure enhancements incorporating best practice safety and environmental principles.
Incorporating NexGen's longstanding approach to economic capacity building, the Program will prioritize Local Priority Area participation, generating new employment and contracting opportunities for Indigenous and community members, reflecting NexGen's industry leading and genuine approach to local communities.

Airbus SE (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/EADSF#OTC">EADSF</a>) CEO Christian Scherer says the aircraft manufacturer can reach its 2025 delivery target despite delays due to supply chain issues.
What Happened: The company, which is targeting 820 aircraft deliveries in 2025, is "cautiously hopeful" despite over 40 aircraft frames waiting to be fitted with engines, Reuters reported on Thursday.
"We haven&#8217;t changed our (delivery) guidance. I caution you not to extrapolate too much from monthly numbers. There is a gradual increase in output of engines that we get from CFM. The reason we have not changed our outlook for the year is because we believe that between now and the end of the year we will get the engines,&#8221; Scherer said.
The aircraft manufacturer sources its engines from CFM, which also supplies the engines that power Boeing Co.'s (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BA#NYSE">BA</a>) 737 Max Aircraft.
Scherer says Airbus can meet its production target of 75 units of single-isle aircraft like the Airbus A320 by 2027. "We are just cruising past 60 (a month). We are trending in the right direction into the 60s," the report said.
Why It Matters: The news comes in as the global aircraft industry is dealing with <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/02/43865891/elon-musks-involvement-key-to-solving-boeings-air-force-one-delivery-crisis-report">supply chain constraints</a>.

Boeing has endured a tough spell in recent years over quality control and safety issues with its aircraft. Most recently, A London-bound <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/06/45899174/boeing-dreamliner-carrying-over-200-passengers-crashes-shortly-after-takeoff-near-indias-ahmedabad-ba-stock-falls-over-5-in-thursday-pre-market">Boeing 787 Dreamliner</a> aircraft operated by Air India crashed moments after it took off from Ahmedabad in India&#8217;s Gujarat state on Thursday. The flight was said to be carrying over 240 people onboard.
The FAA, or Federal Aviation Administration, also recently proposed a flightworthiness report for the company after <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44811150/faulty-bathroom-latches-could-cost-boeing-34-million-following-faa-directive">faulty bathroom latches</a> resulted in a passenger being stuck inside the lavatory of a Boeing aircraft during a flight.

ADC Therapeutics SA (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ADCT#NYSE">ADCT</a>), a commercial-stage global leader and pioneer in the field of antibody drug conjugates (ADCs), today announced updated data&nbsp;from the LOTIS-7 Phase 1b open-label clinical trial evaluating the safety and efficacy of ZYNLONTA&#xAE;&nbsp;in combination with the bispecific antibody glofitamab (COLUMVI&#xAE;) in patients with relapsed or refractory diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (r/r DLBCL) to be presented at the European Hematology Association 2025 Congress (EHA2025) in Milan, Italy. The Company will host a conference call and webcast featuring LOTIS-7 trial principal investigator and EHA presenting author, Juan Alderuccio, MD, Clinical Site Disease Group Leader, Lymphoma Section, at Sylvester Comprehensive Cancer Center, part of the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine today at 8:00 a.m. ET to discuss the results. To access the conference call, please register <a href="https://c212.net/c/link/?t=0&amp;l=en&amp;o=4447834-1&amp;h=1413992372&amp;u=https%3A%2F%2Fapp.webinar.net%2FRp8ZqrVqKdQ&amp;a=here">here</a>.
&nbsp;
"The data seen in this study with the combination of ZYNLONTA and glofitamab has shown a manageable safety profile along with strong efficacy data from patients with relapsed or refractory DLBCL, with complete responses observed regardless of prior therapy, including CAR-T," said Mohamed Zaki, MD, PhD, Chief Medical Officer of ADC Therapeutics. "The combination of these two anti-cancer agents holds significant promise for advancing the treatment landscape and addressing unmet need in patients with these hard-to-treat lymphomas."
The presentation highlights updated data as of April 14, 2025, in which r/r LBCL patients received dose levels of 120 µg/kg or 150 µg/kg of ZYNLONTA plus the bispecific antibody glofitamab, with 41 patients evaluable for safety and 30 patients evaluable for efficacy.
Key highlights of the LOTIS-7 data presentation are as follows:
<ul>
<li>Best overall response data among the 30 efficacy evaluable patients shows overall response rate (ORR) of 93.3% (28/30 pts) as assessed by Lugano Criteria</li>
<li>Complete response (CR) rate of 86.7% (26/30 pts)
<ul>
<li>Of these, 25/26 patients achieving CR remain in CR as of the data cut-off
<ul>
<li>Median time to CR in 120 µg/kg = 80 days</li>
<li>Median time to CR in 150 µg/kg = 42 days</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>12 patients converted from stable disease (SD) or partial response (PR) to CR over time (1 and 11 pts respectively)</li>
<li>Of the 6 patients previously treated with CAR-T and undergoing response assessment, 5 achieved a CR</li>
<li>Among the 41 safety&nbsp;evaluable patients, the combination was generally well tolerated with a manageable safety profile and no DLTs across dose levels
<ul>
<li>Grade 3 or higher treatment emergent adverse events (TEAEs) observed in &gt; 5% of patients included neutropenia (24.4%), anemia (9.8%), AST increased (7.3%), GGT increased (7.3%), and thrombocytopenia (7.3%)</li>
<li>In the 150 µg/kg dose, cytokine release syndrome (CRS) (23.8%), all of which were Grade 1, and immune effector cell-associated neurotoxicity syndrome (ICANS) (4.8%), with one case of Grade 2, were observed</li>
<li>In the 120 µg/kg dose, CRS all grades (55%), all of which were Grade 1/2 except one case of Grade 3, and ICANS (10%), with one case of Grade 1 and one case of Grade 2, were observed</li>
<li>TEAEs leading to discontinuation included 3 each for&nbsp;ZYNLONTA and glofitamab</li>
<li>There were no Grade 5 TEAEs observed</li>
</ul>

Teleflex Incorporated (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TFX#NYSE">TFX</a>), a leading global provider of medical technologies, today announced findings from a new multinational study reporting efficacy of Arrow&#x2122; Chlorhexidine-Impregnated Central Venous Catheters (CVCs). This prospective cohort study included more than 6,670 patients from 12 Intensive care units in eight hospitals across India, Malaysia, Papua New Guinea, Colombia, Egypt and Turkey.
Key highlights include:
<ul>
<li>The pre-specified CVC subgroup analysis evaluated the impact of Chlorhexidine-impregnated CVCs on CLABSI rates using CLABSI rates per 1,000 CL (central-line)-days.</li>
<li>70.5% reduction in the incidence of CLABSI in patients with Arrowg+ard Blue&#x2122; and Arrowg+ard Blue Plus&#x2122; CVCs vs. plain (non-impregnated) catheters.</li>
<li>Lower incidence of infection-causing pathogens with Chlorhexidine-impregnated CVCs, including gram-negative and gram-positive bacteria and fungi.</li>
<li>Insertion training and the use of maximal barrier precautions were similar across both groups, eliminating technique variability as a confounding factor.</li>
<li>Use of an unprotected CVC may be an independent risk factor for CLABSI when compared to patients with Chlorhexidine-impregnated CVCs. &nbsp;</li>
</ul>
The study's CVC analysis demonstrated a statistically significant reduction in CLABSIs of 70.5% in patients receiving the impregnated antimicrobial catheters. These patients had longer average length of ICU stay and device utilization ratios, indicating frequent and extended use. Despite this, infection remained significantly lower, underscoring the potential benefit of the antimicrobial technology even in high-risk patients. Acknowledging potential variations in patients and characteristics across study hospitals and the lack of a metric (e.g., Standard Infection Ratio) to adjust for these factors in the countries in the study, the authors noted that the study data nonetheless provides "significant evidence" regarding impregnated CVCs.

Xpeng Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XPEV#NYSE">XPEV</a>) debuted the new all-electric G7 SUV in China as the country's brutal EV price war shows no signs of relenting.
What Happened: The Chinese automaker received over 10,000 pre-orders for the G7 SUV in under 46 minutes, CnEVPost reported <a href="https://cnevpost.com/2025/06/12/xpeng-g7-10000-pre-orders-46-mins/">on</a> Thursday.
Xpeng says display models of the SUV are available across multiple outlets in China. The SUV would retail for around 235,810 Yuan or slightly under $33,000, pitting it squarely against Tesla Inc.'s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) cheapest vehicle in China, the Model 3.

The SUV also features Xpeng's Turing AI chip, which is developed in-house by the automaker, marking a shift away from the previously utilized Nvidia Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) autonomous driving chipsets.
