Group 2: Bond Market Concerns - Hartnett believes that the true catalyst for a sell-off may not be in the stock market but rather in the bond market. A breakout of the 30-year US Treasury yield above 5% could shift market sentiment from "risk-on" to "risk-off" [4][14]. - The 30-year Treasury yield briefly surpassed 5% amid fears of potential actions by Trump against Powell, with current yields at 5.1% in the US, 5.6% in the UK, and 3.2% in Japan [15].

Group 4: Historical Context and Policy Implications - Hartnett draws parallels between current events and the policy conflicts of the 1970s, particularly regarding Trump's relationship with the Federal Reserve and potential repercussions if Powell were to be ousted [6][27]. - The historical context includes Nixon's economic policies in the early 1970s, which led to a cycle of initial prosperity followed by a downturn, suggesting that similar outcomes could occur if current policies shift dramatically [28][31].
