My understanding is that the bond was a safe play before. While stock performed bad, money flow to bond market which added presure on the yield, vice versa. Now, in order to save the economy, US need borrow more money to support its' "idea". So, high yield means higher borrowing cost, it also indicates that the bond holders expect inflation coming and FED will increase rate. In our current "constained" economic situation, this is very bad. It basically will put a brake on any recovery attempts. Keep your eyes on long term bond's yield.
In general, under normal situation, mild inflation is good for economy and market. But now, we in different ball game. No one has solid answer for everything. |
