Treasury Selloff Pushes Long-Term Yields to Decade-Plus Highs After $742B Week

The U.S. government sold $742 billion of Treasuries in nine auctions this week (mostly T-bills, with $157 billion in notes/bonds). Long-dated yields surged: the 30-year auction yield reached 5.216% (highest since 2001) and the 10-year at 4.683% (highest since 2007); in the secondary market, 30-year yields hovered around 5.26% and 10-year near 4.70%. The piece frames this as a reflection of mounting debt and inflation risk, with mixed views on Fed policy and potential implications for bond investors and currency dynamics.

Rare unknown-version NES cartridges from Wisconsin could fetch millions

A box found in Waukesha, Wisconsin contains nearly 100 copies of an unknown version of Super Mario Bros and Duck Hunt for the NES, printed two years after the last known production run and featuring distinct labels, screws, manuals and motherboards. The seller says Nintendo sent the cartridges to a metal-recovery service to be melted for gold, but they were never destroyed. Some cartridges are in pristine condition and have earned the first PSA 10 grades for NES games. Three cartridges are headed to auction this month and could fetch millions.

Gus the T. rex goes under the hammer with a $20–30 million estimate at Sotheby’s

Sotheby’s will auction a 67-million-year-old Tyrannosaurus rex nicknamed Gus for a pre-auction estimate of $20–$30 million, the highest ever for a dinosaur fossil. Discovered in 2021 on a South Dakota cattle ranch by Theropoda Expeditions, the nearly complete skeleton goes on sale July 14, highlighting Sotheby’s ongoing bet on fossil sales as a luxury market. Past high-profile dinosaur auctions include Griffin’s Stegosaurus Apex (sold for $44.6 million) and other T. rexes such as Sue and Stan; bidders are typically private collectors who often loan acquisitions to museums.
