Zeev, On a fundamental basis I agree with your analysis of long bond yields. But let me throw out something for thought. One of the arguments behind the dramatic rally in equities the last few years had been the flood of savings dollars from baby boomers. Many have pointed out how that drove many equities to levels beyond those called for by previous fundamental analysis. That tidal wave of money seems to have halted and in fact turned around a bit. Where is it headed? By all signs it appears, at least in part, to be headed towards safety and quality. That appears to be US treasuries which is part of why the credit spreads have blown out. In addition this move is happening at a time when the Treasury has a surplus and started paying down debt so the supply of Treasuries, relative to other assets, is decreasing. So while I have been looking at the same fundmentals re the bond as you have pointed out I have to wonder wether we are about to see the same fundmental swamping tidal wave that propelled equities hit the bond market. Food for thought.
