I wonder if PIMCO's Bill Gross is pissed?

3.07%  -- 10 year US Treasury yield as of yesterday.

Start saving those emails and phone call records...we'll want to know if Bill Gross or anyone at PIMCO's been talking to GOP members about allowing the US to default in August, which would naturally lead to a fast rise in the yield, and provide a handsome return for any hedge bets.

So far, the bond market is ignoring him, and paying more attention to Europe's mess.  Clearly a market is anticipating a Greek default, and a spreading of problems throughout Europe.

Greece 10 year bond rate
Ireland 10 year bond rate

Portugal 10 year bond rate
