- Recently, downticks in Treasury yields are being met with selling pressure in value indexes and stocks. The stock market can’t make up its mind. Does it want high yields or low yields?
- This confusion is because inflation numbers are rising and interest rates are falling, which is unusual. But since we have the most extreme intervention in the history of financial markets, some of the QE money from the ECB and BoJ ends up in the U.S. Treasury market, in addition to the Fed’s own QE money, pushing yields lower as inflation rises.
