'What's Inside RFK Jr.'s MAHA Report'- Wall Street Journal

Long-dated U.S. Treasuries tumbled to their lowest levels since October 2023 as yields surged past 5%, fueled by a weaker-than-expected bond auction and mounting deficit fears tied to President Donald Trump&#8216;s proposed tax-cut plan now <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/donald-trump">under debate in Congress.</a>
The 30-year Treasury yield soared to 5.08% on Wednesday, sending bond prices tumbling and pushing the iShares 20+ Year Treasury Bond ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TLT#NASDAQ">TLT</a>) down 1.6% to $84—its lowest level since October 2023.
The move accelerated shortly after 1:05 p.m. in New York, following the U.S. Treasury's $16 billion auction of 20-year bonds. The auction produced a high yield of 5.047%, roughly 1.2 basis points above the when-issued level, signaling soft demand. 
According to an analysis by Exante Data, Wednesday&#8217;s auction metrics signaled overall weak demand.
The bid-to-cover ratio came in at 2.46, sitting just above the bottom quartile of the last 50 auctions and well below the historical median, pointing to soft overall interest. 
Primary dealers—the institutions obligated to absorb unsold issuance—took 16.9% of the auction, near the top end of historical norms, indicating that other buyer groups were less aggressive. 
Direct bidders, such as mutual funds and hedge funds, only accounted for 14.1%, well below their typical share. 
The only bright spot came from indirect bidders—largely foreign investors—who absorbed 69%, a figure above the median and a sign that global buyers are still stepping in, even as domestic appetite shows signs of fatigue.

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Deficit Fears Keep Pressure On Bonds</h3>
Market participants remain focused on the structural shift in U.S. fiscal policy under President Trump's second administration. The new tax-and-spending package, expected to pass Congress in coming weeks, could slash federal tax revenues by $4.1 trillion through 2034, according to the Tax Foundation.
In a note Wednesday, Oxford Economics analyst John Canavan said Moody's recent downgrade of U.S. sovereign debt didn't come as a shock but amplified existing concerns. 
"The downgrade itself shouldn&#8217;t have a major impact on markets, but it does reinforce the pre-existing concerns about fiscal sustainability and the broader attractiveness of U.S. assets for global investors."
Canavan added that higher Treasury term premiums—extra compensation for holding long-dated debt—are likely to remain elevated under such fiscal conditions. 
Veteran Wall Street investor Ed Yardeni echoed the sentiment, saying that the bond market is increasingly pricing in a more structural problem with U.S. fiscal management.
"Budget deficits matter," Yardeni said. "That's especially so when they lead to higher interest rates, higher bond yields, and potentially higher inflation."
Yardeni warned that Trump's new fiscal package is "a big beautiful bill that totes a big ugly tab," arguing that the composition of the tax plan—not just its headline numbers—is driving bond market unease.
"Huge budget deficits were a feature during the COVID pandemic," Michael Gayed, CFA said in an email. 
"But the fact that they've remained in place even throughout the post-pandemic recovery indicates that excessive government spending has become the norm, not the exception. If this tax cut bill passes, which it likely will eventually, Treasuries may have a harder time developing any momentum, save for a major economic downturn."

Market Whales and Their Recent Bets on DHR Options

In the current market session, MFA Finl Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MFA#NYSE">MFA</a>) share price is at $9.85, after a 0.71% decrease. Over the past month, the stock spiked by 2.15%, but over the past year, it actually decreased by 10.22%. With good short-term performance like this, and questionable long-term performance, long-term shareholders might want to start looking into the company's price-to-earnings ratio.

<h3>Evaluating MFA Finl P/E in Comparison to Its Peers</h3>
The P/E ratio is used by long-term shareholders to assess the company's market performance against aggregate market data, historical earnings, and the industry at large. A lower P/E could indicate that shareholders do not expect the stock to perform better in the future or it could mean that the company is undervalued. 
MFA Finl has a lower P/E than the aggregate P/E of 17.92 of the Mortgage Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs) industry. Ideally, one might believe that the stock might perform worse than its peers, but it's also probable that the stock is undervalued. 

<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2025/1747850504_1.png" alt="Guage" />

In conclusion, the price-to-earnings ratio is a useful metric for analyzing a company's market performance, but it has its limitations. While a lower P/E can indicate that a company is undervalued, it can also suggest that shareholders do not expect future growth. Additionally, the P/E ratio should not be used in isolation, as other factors such as industry trends and business cycles can also impact a company's stock price. Therefore, investors should use the P/E ratio in conjunction with other financial metrics and qualitative analysis to make informed investment decisions.
