This really falls in the category of wild speculation, but my partner used to work in the hedge fund business and it still tapped into the community, and apparently there's some speculation that Deutsche Bank may be close to failing and that the reason bond yields were going UP last week was the possibility they were cashing out their bond holdings to get liquidity now and that the Fed stepped in to buy when DB was flooding the market and not finding enough buyers. One of the Swiss Banks is also apparently on the brink and may be/have been doing the same.

Thanks for sharing. Good clue to investigate.
