While the macro narrative on why bond yields rallied to lower-long-term highs (again) remains malleable, the data is not.
When strategists tell you “inflation is breaking out – so bond yields are going higher,” send them these 3 charts. To be clear, bottoms are processes, not points. And all we’re seeing is a reflation of one mother of a #deflation risk.
If the Fed makes a mistake and raises rates (Dollar Up, Commodities Smoked), they’ll perpetuate #deflation and a corporate profit slow-down in #LateCycle sectors that have already lost pricing power.
