In any case the yield on them T bills briefly popped above 3% then went back down as institutional investors snapped up what the Russians sold. So....a big nothing burger.

You might need to investigate the grasp the underlying motive rather than simply looking at the surface of act.
There can be many things, which bring Russian to make such a move, especially after meeting in Helsinki. "that is a big matter than many should consider to give concern"... it "can" involve many things.
they could position themselves for dumping of info related to Trump and the many in his network who have taken Russian money and been influenced by Russian system of money based in programming, it could be a trove of data about Trump, that the Russian may find channels to dump, as they hedge themselves against any Retaliation by Trump and the Trump Administration. It could very well be, that Trump has not delivered as promised, and the Russian are prepared to take a position.
It could be that the Russian play around the middle, and consider dumping on Trump as a means to gain better favor with the broader american population who does not support the acts of Trump, or the demeanor that Trump has thrust upon the nation.
It could every well be, the reordering that is shaping up, after the attacks upon NATO and the UN and the European Union by the belligerence Trump spewed since he's been in office.
Nations are restructuring what they use as "trade currency". The power of the Petro dollars has damaged itself in the Arab Nations with the Anti-Muslim spins, and one thing is for sure, "energy is power" and Arab nations recognize that power more today, than they did in the past. they understood it when they created OPEC, and they also understood what happen to them, when they made the stand to choose gold over dollars, and the U.S. spiked up the price of Gold and gave them half the value in actual Gold, for twice the oil, until OPEC went back to accepting the dollar currency, then the price of gold went back down, which told a grand story that did not get the press it should have.
They know now, that the U.S. is strapped with $20 Trillion and Debt, and they wanted Trump give $1.x Trillion to the wealthy, which indicates that the U.S. is aligned for an every greater debt load, because that Trillion represent multiple times it face value, that translates into diminished services and programs in America and that translates to diminished jobs and diminished resources available to support the system and programs that once made America a great nation. They see the damages that the Trade Mess is on tract to create and the damages and devastation it is in process to create. The mess that Farmer are facing is only the tip, and the cost of goods that use processed ore is set to go astronomical in impact which indicates inflation.
They look at the programmed damages that Trump aspires to inflict upon America with additional tax cuts. when NO NATION with such Debt and Such Need for TAX REVENUE can afford to give tax cuts, if anything Tax should have risen in direct relations to the extreme profit gains that go into the hands of the wealthy and their Corporate system, while 'nothing goes to the people". We have decaying cities, we have an infrastructure system that is 50-60 yrs over aged, and some even older, that we can't fix and we can't even structure out business to begin the repairs. We missed the awareness that across this nation, those repairs would represent millions of job and value added benefit to the nation to have an improved and state of the arts infrastructure.
Russians know the "dark money circles, and they know the "offshore hiding points", and they see those areas totals rise, as the wealthy hide more than they had previously hidden in offshore, and many have diversified what they hid and bought other rising currency as a hedge to protect what they have hidden.
Russia does not make stupid move in the regard of money to divest themselves without having studied many variables and considered many options as to how they can make such a move become to their advantage.
They see us, spinning in madness of racial confusion, and that confusion is breeding conflicts, rather than looking at the fact that "all races in America are facing the same despaired challenges"... but when the conflict is driven to promote dissension... it become a detractor that blinds the people as to the way forward.
We have a hedge fund mess in this country, that plays one financial commodity against another, and then split it into derivatives and fragment the value, and that "curtain" is about to face and exposure of the fragile and weak nature of the commodities in the mix.
Our biggest business in America is
"Advertising" , and "Sales of Imported Goods"... those are the elements that have Google, Amazon and Ebay the high speculation driven propped up valuation. Much of it is connected to the "acceleration of the trade"... not that actual value exist, but what speculator feel they can push valuation to present for the sake of profit on the spin.
Any American can look, within their own environment, community, city and state, and see the continual erosion and exodus of business and industry, people can look at their paycheck, and look at what is promoted as jobs, when the pay does not meet the income levels to meet with the purported standard of quality living, that American claim to advertise, but a great many of its population can't earn enough to meet.
Companies buying and selling each other to one another for $Billions and 10's of Billions and claiming $100's of billions in value, but it does not, has not and will not translate into higher earning for the general population. Which indicates it is more a "paper shuffle and spin" than actual real time dollars.
Facebook is said to have lost over $100 billion dollars. that was a "paper loss', that's why they still operate, if it was "Actual Greenback Dollars", we'd not be seeing Facebook much longer.
We have Apple approaching a Trillion in Stock Valuation, but Apple does not produce its products in American and American are not gaining a profit in the average cities hands, from Apple, the most is has is select people in the tech sectors of programs and designs, but the actual product is produced in China, and paying wages to Chinese Workers. All America gets is an over priced gadget, that every 6 month's they are duped to spend again.
Our Banks claim high Multi and double digit Billions in Profit, but one can barely find a teller in the banks remaining. they bleed the income of the working people with "fees" until its become more a parasite, than a promoter of business, development and growth for the average citizen.
As I said, I've written much to try and get people to "think", and think of history, learn from history and look at the divisiveness that was groomed in earlier history, but instead of thinking, they 'get anguished" as the fact of how people have been used, and sadly how the white society has been used like pawns by the wealthy to support the agenda of the wealthy, which ultimate leaves them stripped and ripped on a revolving cycle. If madness can be sold to the white society, and them being the current majority, then its easier to enact the madness upon the minority population. this stuff is not created by the working poor of black or white general population, its created by the orchestrator of Money Manipulations and spins of many sorts to keep the general population off balance and spinning on drama of many sorts.
People should look back in history during the Era of the Early Titans of Industry, and how they drove and dictated the political debates and influenced the policy makers with lobbyist and campaign contribution and out-right bribery by the many means that bribes are facilitated. We have politicians who go into office with little money and by the time they leave they are millionaires many times over. Today, we see political office dominated by "wealthy individuals".... which indicates the nature of Plutocracy that has launched its acts and attacks upon and against the system of Representative Democracy, to be driven and manipulated by the wealth and power of the few.
Yes, there is much more to the element of divesting the dollar by Russia, as there is much to the moves in over 60 countries to choose to use the Yuan as a trade currency, without declaring it as the dominant reserve currency.
People can let go of the Post World War II bluster, we are not the same nation in economic power and we are not the same nations in Industrial might, and we are not the same nation in the ways we had influence over many nations during the early era of Post World War II.
