I can still remember the days when plunging oil prices and resultant lower inflation was good for bonds. But no longer.

Why should plunging oil prices result in plunging bond yields, if tripling of oil prices did not result in yields going up ?

In the old days, oil rising from 25 to 75 would cause a significant backup in yields as well as a stock market selloff.

But i guess old rules no longer apply.

These days, economic trouble means rising stock prices, just like house prices have increased sharply from 2000-2003 despite plunging stocks, $7 trillion of lost stock market wealth as well as loss of a couple of million jobs in the technology, telecom and internet sectors in 2000-2002.
