Treasuries should soar tomorrow.

That seems counter to what I've viewed with past rate cuts. If you're correct, then our bond funds and MMs/CDs should be fine. Having a hard time wrapping my brain around that belief.

Treasuries soaring means rates (interest rates) drop dramatically...inverse relationship.

No...your CDs and MM will drop to zero.

The price of a bond rises when interest rates go down.

Do you own a lot of bonds? No? Me neither.
