I look at the 10-year in regards to long-term trends as that, if I'm not wrong, is where the Fed feels pressure in regards to how it responds to inflation.
But with your reminder I will now pay closer attention to both. Thank you. |

But current high inflation is not caused by an overheating economy but rather due to shortages, trade, manufacturing imbalances and of course so much Feds $$$ help thrown at markets (QE, Infras, Covid compensation, debt ($$$ deficit). We also have insane stock valuations due for a correction except commodities.
So reducing QE/increasing Feds rates will perhaps fight inflation but since we do not have an overheating economy, it will have a dramatic effect on the said fragile economy, making things worse maybe. Hope not. But options are limited for Governments and central banks. Doomed if you do, doomed if you don't.
I am no economist so pls take my opinion for a grain salt but this is how I see things. |

I am not sure if I would sell half or all of it if I was holding - but there is no question that selling a chunk today would have been in the cards. LEXX - am still playing with that one. |
