Latest US treasury auction has 4 week tbill paying almost 6%. Somebody's worried about a default in about 4 weeks.

@philtor it was actually higher than the eight-week in today's auction. I got the 8 😞 oh well.If T-bills really default (not just delayed pay, but lose your money) then nothing denominated in dollars is worth more than its heating value when you burn it.
