Interestingly treasury yields are down on this news, whereas on paper you would expect the opposite. Equities are up, on paper you would expect a toss-up (lower rate cut pushing down, inflation pushing up). Gold is down slightly.
All this suggests these numbers, while being inflationary, are better then anticipated.
- m101 1y agoWhat is probably going on is the following: - if inflation picks up again it will have to be controlled - going by 1970s experience it may be that an engineered recession is required to bring inflation down - recession fears is risk-off - risk-off means go into bonds and out of stocks But yeah, inflation is a double edged sword on bonds. To some extent higher inflation expectations should mean that yields on bonds should go up to provide a consistent real return.
