I have explained many times that central banks worry that falling inflation (disinflation) and outright deflation reduce the incentive for spending and capital flow into financial markets.
The US Fed has gobbled up just over 24% of the outstanding TIPS market in 2021.
Taking the bait, commodities and corporate securities have spiked higher with inflation expectations, as individuals and trend-following funds have ratcheted up risky holdings in the hopes of outrunning capital shortfalls.
